Last Friday, NLMS Peer Helpers participated in training and also volunteered at Alabama Food Solutions, an organization that gives back to our own school and community in so many ways!
Each year, the Peer Helper program kicks off with a training that provides students with foundational skills on how to help support their peers. These Peer Helpers serve as role models and are equipped to assist fellow students with challenges they may face, whether academic, social, or personal. Through active listening and empathy, they offer a safe space for their peers to express concerns, seek advice, and find the motivation to overcome obstacles. The Peer Helpers program is a testament to our school’s commitment to student well-being and leadership development and we are so proud of their willingness to help others and play an integral role in our school’s positive school culture.
We are so grateful for The B.B. Comer Memorial Library, and their willingness and hospitality, for allowing us to use their facility for this annual training.
For the remainder of this month, if students have 0 absences and 0-1 tardies to school, they will qualify for a reward event.

NLMS had an exciting assembly to kick off our Mindset in Motion program spearheaded by Mrs. Steers. Participants had to grow their minds by participating in various challenges. Some of these were hula hoop, dance, Rubik's cube, blindfolded basketball, and cup stacking with upside down glasses on.
Lady Aggies!

Dear Sylacauga City Schools Families:
The transportation changes for NLMS students during drop-off/pickup traffic has caused great confusion and concern the last few days. Although changes were discussed with one of our partners (Sylacauga Police Department), a final decision had not been determined at the time information was posted on social media. We apologize for the confusion and feel the need to clarify that at this time NLMS drop-off/pickup traffic will be the same as the 2023-24 school year with no changes for the 2024-25 school year. The safety and security of our students is always top priority. If changes are made in the future, we will communicate those details to all stakeholders.
Thank you for your understanding as we are preparing to have the best school year starting on Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
Registration Assistance
Please disregard the schedule you see when you register your student for the 2024-2025 school year. Changes are still being made to many student schedules. Thank you.
