ANNOUNCEMENTS
NIMAS general membership meeting Tuesday, June 8 at 7:30 PM on Zoom
UPDATE 5-20-21
Hello Everyone. I have added a rain date (June 2, 6-9pm)for this event due to it being outside and we will not be using a tent. Each family will be assigned a circle on the lawn in the back of the school. We will have a 26ft screen so everyone will be able to have a good view. I have adjusted the schedule of events for the evening and moved the awards to 7pm following the picnic so it will be darker when we show the video. This event is taking place on the grass field behind the school. I strongly recommend you bring a blanket to sit on.
