NIMAS general membership meeting Tuesday, June 8 at 7:30 PM on Zoom
UPDATE 5-29-21
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. 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.
The gates will open at 5:30pm. I am asking that you do not arrive before 5:30 as there are many setup and organizational tasks that must be accomplished before the event begins.
Attendees are permitted to park in any of the parking spaces in the school lots. You will need to walk down to the field using the driveway between BBraun and the auditorium side of the building.
We have placed marker flags on the field to indicate areas for where families should sit. We are asking that all the members of your party situate themselves around the flag of your choosing. While we are outdoors, we are on school property and must maintain appropriate social distancing. You must wear a mask when you enter the school building to get your food or when you use the restrooms.
NIMAS night at the IronPigs
Saturday, June 12 at 7:05pm
In celebration of our Nitschmann Instrumental Music and Performing Arts students, we will be sponsoring an evening at the IronPigs.

Each ticket will contain a $2 ballpark credit to be used at select food stands or in the store.This is a family event. You are welcome to purchase additional tickets for your family to join in the fun. Tickets are limited and will be issued on a first come first serve basis.
All tickets will be electronic and will be emailed to the parent/purchasing adult during the week of the game.
The cost of parking is $5 per vehicle in 2021. The parking fee can be paid for in advance by credit card to IronPigs directly.
