This morning New Ellenton Middle was placed on a Secure status, following the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) procedures. This was done out of an abundance of caution after hearing gun fire in the distance behind the school. A Secure status requires that students be kept inside with all exterior doors locked, and for NEMS that means no students on the breezeway or in the mobile classrooms. SRO Tuper, school administration and district personnel continually assessed the situation to ensure safety for all of our NEMS students, faculty and staff. During the Secure SRP, teaching and learning continues inside the safety of our campus walls. For more information on our Standard Response Protocol, click the Safe & Secure Schools information on our district website. The New Ellenton Police Department has investigated and we have since been given the all clear to resume regular operations.

We are so thankful to Corinth Baptist Church for bringing the pine box race car project to NEMS. Students get to design, build, decorate, and race their wooden cars. The men from Corinth Baptist work with our students to design the cars and then build them into race cars! This will be an extended project, and we can't wait for race day! 🏎️

Ms. Shepler's 6th Digital Arts students learned new skills and techniques in Adobe Photoshop this week. They have been using the hue/saturation, liquify, and blending techniques tools to modify portraits of people. While Photoshop can be a very useful program, it definitely takes practice to learn all of the tricks and tools!
