Day 1 of our Coca-Cola Fundraiser is officially underway! Running October 1st - October 17th.
This year, field trip costs have increased to $170 per student due to charter bus expenses. Our fundraiser gives students an opportunity to help offset these costs by selling cases of Coca-Cola products.
Upcoming Field Trips:
March 6-7th Grade: Busch Gardens
March 13-6th Grade: Sea World
May 8th-8th Grade: Gradventure
Important Details:
✅ This is NOT mandatory - it's an optional way for students to help pay for their grade level field trip
✅ All proceeds go directly toward student field trip expenses
✅ Information packets were sent home Monday, 9/29
Every case sold helps make these incredible experiences possible for our students. Thank you for supporting NEMS and helping create lasting memories for our Blue Devils!

What a beautiful celebration we had today! We were honored to welcome Folklorico dancers Angel Aguilar and Karina Aguilar to Northeast Middle School as special guests for Hispanic Heritage Month.
Our students were captivated by the stunning traditional Mexican folk dance performances, complete with vibrant costumes and incredible choreography. This cultural experience gave our Blue Devils a wonderful opportunity to learn about and appreciate the rich traditions and heritage of the Hispanic community.
Thank you, Angel and Karina, for sharing your talent and culture with us. Moments like these help us celebrate the diversity that makes our school community so special!

These dedicated students demonstrated incredible knowledge by evaluating complex land characteristics including slope, erosion patterns, soil depth, topsoil texture, drainage, and permeability. They also recommended specific agricultural uses and conservation practices - from vegetative and mechanical treatments to proper lime and fertilizer applications.
This competition requires deep understanding of soil science and sustainable agriculture practices. We're so proud of how these students represented NEMS and showcased their expertise in land stewardship!
Way to go, NEMS FFA! Your hard work and dedication to agriculture education is truly paying off! 🌾
