At tonight's Tift County Board of Education work session, Northeast Middle School 8th grader Brody Stone led the Pledge of Allegiance.

The NEMS band and choir then led the inspiration with a performance of the Tift County High School alma mater.

We're proud of these students and the way they represented our school. Thank you to the Board for having them.

🍩 KRISPY KREME + JrBETA = A SWEET WAY TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS! 🍩

NEMS JrBETA is kicking off our Krispy Kreme Fundraiser to help support JrBETA State Convention expenses and future club activities!

📅 Orders Due: October 26
🍩 Donut Pick-Up: October 30 — Front of the School

Ordering through School Cash Online? Type the JrBETA student’s name when asked “Who are you purchasing this for?” so the boxes are counted toward that student’s sales.

⭐ How student credit works: After a student sells their first 3 boxes, they earn approximately $5 toward their State Convention balance for each additional box sold.

Thank you for supporting our NEMS JrBETA students! 💙

Sell donuts. Support JrBETA.

💙 Happy National Instructional Coaches Day!

Today, we are proud to celebrate Mrs. Lisa Delk and the incredible impact she has on Northeast Middle School each day.

As our Instructional Coach, Mrs. Delk is so much more than a resource for teaching and learning. She is a supporter, encourager, problem-solver, collaborator, and leader who is always willing to step in wherever she is needed. Whether she is helping a teacher work through a new strategy, sharing resources, celebrating successes, offering a fresh perspective, or simply being a listening ear, she approaches her work with patience, positivity, and a genuine desire to help others succeed.

Mrs. Delk leads through relationships. She makes people feel supported rather than evaluated, encouraged rather than overwhelmed, and reminds us that growth happens when we work together. Her dedication to our teachers ultimately reaches far beyond the classroom doors—it makes a difference for every student those teachers serve.

We are incredibly fortunate to have someone who brings not only knowledge and leadership to NEMS but also kindness, dependability, and heart.

Mrs. Delk, thank you for investing in our teachers, believing in our students, and helping make NEMS stronger every day. We appreciate you! 💙🤍

NEMS FFA member Caroline Askew showcased her exceptional artistry and technical skill at the recent FFA Floral Design Competition. Competing in the junior division, she demonstrated a strong command of floriculture principles, placement, and creative design. With over 30 competitors we are proud of Caroline's 12th place finish.
The competition challenges middle school and early high school FFA members to construct professional-grade floral arrangements under strict time constraints. Participants are judged on design balance, mechanics, color harmony, and their ability to follow specific technical guidelines, such as the industry-standard focal-to-filler ratios. Congratulations Caroline Askew on a job well done!

🏋️‍♂️ Happy National Coaches Day! 💙🤍

Today, we’re celebrating the coaches who keep our Blue Devils moving, growing, and getting stronger!

A special thank you to Coach Kelli Walker and Coach Hunter McAllister in Physical Education and Coach Stacy Duckworth and Coach Blake Cecil in Weightlifting.

Whether they’re teaching the fundamentals of fitness, encouraging students to push through a challenge, building confidence, or reinforcing the value of discipline and perseverance, these coaches make an impact that reaches far beyond the gym and weight room.

Thank you for investing in our students, challenging them to be their best, and showing them that strength is built through effort, consistency, and determination.

Happy National Coaches Day, Coaches! We appreciate all you do for NEMS! 💪💙

🏆 Today, we celebrate the people behind the play.

On National Coaches Day, we recognize the coaches who give their time, energy, leadership, and heart to our middle grades student-athletes. Their impact reaches far beyond the scoreboard—building confidence, teaching discipline, encouraging teamwork, and helping students grow both on and off the field.

From early practices to late games, big wins to tough losses, our coaches continue to show up, lead, and invest in our students.

To all of our Tift County Middle Grades coaches—thank you for the countless ways you make a difference. 💙

Two middle schools. One coaching community. Countless student impacts.
