Hello NAMS Families,

As we head into February vacation, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued partnership and support. The stretch between January and February can feel long for students and adults alike. Despite cold mornings and busy schedules, our students continue to show resilience, kindness, and growth.

February break is an important opportunity for everyone to pause and recharge. Whether your family is traveling, staying local, catching up on rest, or simply enjoying a slower routine, I hope the week brings time together, laughter, and a chance to reset.

When we return, we’ll be entering an exciting stretch of the school year with longer days, continued academic momentum, and many meaningful student experiences ahead this spring.

Hello NAMS Families,

This past week, I had the honor and privilege of serving on a federal jury. Witnessing our legal system at work firsthand was a powerful reminder of the role citizens play in ensuring fairness, justice, and due process. Experiences like this reinforce the values we strive to model for our students: civic engagement, responsibility, and respect for democratic institutions.
