PTA Update
The PTA fundraising committee extends our thanks to everyone who supported the 1st annual
Social Hour last Tuesday. We consider the event a big success, and we exceeded our
fundraising goal! Now we are excited to use these funds to continue supporting Northeast
Middle School.
Next PTA Meeting: Tuesday, May 5th, at 6:30 p.m.
Please join us! We meet in the Media Center, and all interested NEMS family members,
community members, and friends of NEMS are welcome to attend. If you can't make the
meeting but would like to follow along with what was discussed, you can check out the meeting
minutes on our blog.
The PTA is planning two fun events for May:
There will be a school dance with a masquerade theme on Friday, May 8th,
from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the school lunch room. The dance will be co-hosted by the
student council and the PTA, and there will be no charge -- refreshments will be
available for small fee. We are seeking volunteers to assist with decorating,
concessions, and chaperoning for this event. If you would like to volunteer, please
email northeastmiddleschoolpta@gmail.com.
On Friday, May 29th, we will be showing a movie at dusk (around 9:00 p.m.)
in the parking lot on 29th and Johnson. This event will be co-hosted by Johnstock
and the PTA, and there will be no charge -- refreshments will be available for a
small fee. (Rain location: NE Middle Auditorium.)
Reminder! When you order food from Parkway Pizza (2851 Johnson St. NE) on the first Monday
of each month, a portion of their proceeds are donated to the Northeast Middle School PTA. The
next opportunity for this will be Monday, May 4th.

NEMS Vision Statement:
Northeast Middle School is a school that provides all students with a supportive and nurturing
environment where quality teaching and learning is evident in everything we do.
NEMS Mission Statement:
In an environment of caring and supportive guidance, students in sixth through eighth grades
will be encouraged to develop academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. We believe
that self-respect and personal responsibility are as important to success as academic
achievement. Cultural and learning diversities will be respected, enriched, and enhanced in
order that students learn to value difference in the school population and the society in which
we live.
