NEMS is selling Tidal Wave Car Wash coupons. For $10, you get a $30 car wash! We will be selling them all September, and the coupons will come in after Fall Break. These make great stocking-stuffers and are a great money-maker for NEMS. If you are interested, you can find the order form in the Wolverine Weekly, call the front office, or have your student stop by the office for an order form. Each student who sells 50 coupons will receive a free Kona Ice when they return on October 30.

FALL INTERSESSION LEGO WARS CAMP | GRADES 6-8

During Fall Intersession, the week of September 29-October 2, a limited number of spots are available for this year’s Fine Arts Camp, Lego Wars, for students in grades 6-8.

Lego Wars will be held at Highland Springs Middle School Monday-Thursday from 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Students will dive into creativity, the engineering design process, and project design while developing architectural skills to build strong LEGO® structures. This year’s session includes a new team challenge that will push students to think more creatively, collaborate effectively, and apply their engineering skills in exciting new ways.

Registration opens Monday, September 8, at 6 p.m. for ACPSD middle school students and is offered on a first come-first served basis. Please note that due to space limitations, only the first 50 ACPSD students to apply will be accepted. Once the application window opens, parents/guardians can apply by scanning the QR Code or completing the Lego Wars Form.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day of camp, however students’ families will be responsible for their own transportation to Highland Springs Middle.

Please contact Dr. Kimberly Fontanez, District Fine Arts Coordinator, at kfontanez@acpsd.net with any questions.

Spotlight on NEMS Safety! If you don’t know Officer Tuper, he is our School Resource Officer here at New Ellenton Middle. He has served with the Aiken County Sheriff’s Department for many years and has spent the last five as an SRO. Cpl. Tuper brings so many unique talents to our school—he’s skilled in 3D printing and even helped our students create the New Ellenton Middle School sign that greets you at the front door. He’s also often found playing guitar for students at lunch or as they arrive in the mornings. We are grateful to have Cpl. Tuper in our building and appreciate the way he invests in building strong relationships with our students every day.
