April D187 Student Spotlight! "We are thrilled to shine the spotlight on Leonardo, a remarkable student who has consistently demonstrated excellence during his tenure at NMSA over the past three years. Leonardo's commitment to education is truly inspiring. Leonardo is also a valued NMSA band member and a shining example to his peers through his dedication, talent, and leadership.”

April D187 Staff Spotlight! “It is with great pleasure that we shine the Staff Spotlight on Mr. John Offner, a true champion of Neal Math and Science Academy. With an unwavering dedication to our school community, Mr. Offner has earned the title of NMSA's biggest fan, rarely missing any sporting events throughout the year, regardless of whether they are held at home or away. Mr. Offner goes above and beyond to motivate our students to reach their full potential, offering encouragement, guidance, and support every step of the way. Mr. Offner's passion for our school and his commitment to the success and well-being of our students are truly inspiring. We are incredibly fortunate to have him as a valued member of the NMSA community, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude for his continued dedication and contributions. Oorah!”

This week, NMSA focuses on building each other up with positive affirmations. Here's the idea: students decide to write short, encouraging messages for classmates, teachers, and anyone at school! You can leave it on a sticky note, send a quick message, or offer a heartfelt compliment. Together, we can create a more positive and supportive environment for everyone to learn and grow! #positive #NMSA
