*Come to Iowa and enjoy Northeast Middle School Theatre Company’s production of Music Man Jr.! Our story is set in July 1912, when a traveling salesman, “Professor” Harold Hill, arrives in River City, Iowa. Intrigued by the challenge of swindling the famously stubborn natives of Iowa, Hill convinces the townspeople of River City to buy instruments and uniforms for their youngsters in order to save them from getting into trouble. As the story unfolds, chaos ensues as Hill’s credentials are questioned by Marian Paroo, Mayor Shinn, and others. As Hill begins to develop feelings for Marian, he faces a difficult decision about leaving town. Remember the classic songs from this musical…Ya Got Trouble? Shipoopi? ‘Til There Was You? Wells Fargo Wagon? These and many more will be performed by our talented students!
NE’s performances, held in our auditorium, are Thursday, March 2, 2017 at 7 PM and Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 3 PM…admission is $5. Come out and enjoy the students who make us NORTHEAST PROUD!

SPRING BOOK FAIR: It’s almost time for the Spring Book Fair! We’ll have the latest in teen reads as well as some favorites. The fair starts Friday, March 3. Check with your world language, reading literacy, and math literacy teachers for the day your class is scheduled to visit the fair.
THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Listen up! The Arabs have an old proverb like this: The sword wounds the body, but words wound the soul. It’s true, you know. Words can wound. Unkind words… abusive words can really hurt. Sometimes they can hurt for a very long time. If you take a minute to think about this, you can probably remember something someone said to you a long time ago to hurt your feelings. There are a lot of people who look just fine on the outside, but inside they’ve been wounded by unkind word. So how do we heal the wounds? Talk to someone and share your feelings. Then remember what John Heywood said: It hurteth not the tongue to give pleasant words. Today lets heal some wounds. Be especially aware of how you speak to others and give away a few kind words.
