In Grade 7 Science class, students completed a "Fragile Earth" activity to tie in with Earthday, which was April 22. Each pair of students was given an egg to decorate to represent Earth. They then had to clean the egg out by poking holes in the ends and getting rid of the contents. Their next step was to protect their Earth from harm. One student was responsible for the first 24 hours and then the partner had the egg for the next day.

This year, NSER is will be having both a Senior Boys and Girls volleyball team, as well as a Middle school girls team. Unfortunately we are unable to have a middle school boys team because only one student from grade 7 and 8 attended the meeting to see what kind of numbers we had for each group.
The Senior Boys are coached by Mr. Jason Young and Mrs. Sara Diamond-Hyland
The Senior Girls are coached by Mr. Jeff Mather and Mrs. Kelly Richard.
The Middle school Girls are coached by Mrs. Beth McCully.
Thanks to all our coaches and fans for their support.
Best of luck to each team this season!
