PEDIATRIC CANCER FOUNDATION: Northeast Middle School is hosting a fundraiser for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley. This organization has directly helped members of our school community. Please see the attached flyer.
PROUD SOCIETY: Proud Society members, don’t forget to keep earning those proud pounds because you can still use them to get cool rewards. When you have a total of 12 proud pounds you get a Northeast lanyard, and when you have 17 you receive a NE pin. Come down to the school store on Days 1 or 4 to get your lanyard or pin. At the end of the year the top 100 proud society members with the most proud pounds get to go to the special Proud Society Event. Thanks for making our school Northeast Proud!

WEARING OF MASKS: With masking now being optional, we would like to remind all of our students, teachers, and staff to respect each other’s choice to wear a mask Thank you.
WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY: Monday, March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day! All you need to do is choose some socks that are going to get noticed – they might be mismatched socks or your craziest and most colorful socks! If someone asks you about your socks you can tell them, “I’m wearing them to raise awareness of Down syndrome”. Snap a picture and post using the hashtag #LotsOfSocks Did you know?: People with Down syndrome have 47 chromosomes in each of the cells in their body. Most other people have 46.
