On December 15th we celebrated our assembly which we held a volleyball game of students vs teachers. The assistant principal of the school, Mrs. Kathie Bergsma-Glenn, wants to congratulate all the students for their excellent behavior during the assembly.

The whole event was organized by Mrs. Grimm and our Leadership students.

Thanks!

Schools are closed for winter break. See you on Jan. 2, 2018!

NAMS North Pole Band entertained students on the last day of school before winter break.  Mr. Nelson rocked the sax, Mr. Diaz brought the beat, and Mrs. Wind played piano.  Mrs. Larson thumped the bass, while members of the staff danced and sang.  A good time was had by all.

North Albany Middle School students were part of a team competing in the FIRST LEGO League tournament on Saturday at the Kelley Engineering Center at Oregon State University. Gray and her team, called The Syntax Errors, built a three-wheeled robot named Squidbert. They programmed the machine to complete missions, such as pressing a lever, picking something up or rotating an item. Our 2017 team was coached by Brian Sikora as part of the after school robotics club.

Brian Sikora- “I am so proud of my team, it was so fun and a great experience”.
