5th grade students in Mrs. John and Mrs. Peters' classes kicked off an end of the year favorite of Mrs. John ~ the Mission to Mars STEM kits. These kits have kids apply their math and science skills in exciting and innovative ways. Students just wrapped up part one of the kits which was the planning phase. Students designed a mission base, energy system, explored touch sensor technology, launched a communication satellite, designed a lander and conducted a variety of hands-on experiments. Part 2 will have students conducting experiments on mars and planning for the return trip.

NBAPS is so excited to share that our automotive program has received a generous donation of a 2012 Ford Taurus from Anderson & Koch Ford! This contribution will provide students with valuable, hands-on learning opportunities in the field of automotive repair. With access to the donated vehicle, students can practice essential repair techniques and apply classroom concepts in a real-world setting. The experience not only enhances their technical skills but also empowers them to perform basic maintenance on their own vehicles—potentially saving time and money in the future. We are so grateful to Anderson & Koch Ford for their support of our program and their commitment to student learning and career readiness. Thank you! Pictured are (l to r): NBAHS Asst. Principal Jacob Truby, High School Automotive Teacher Tylor Sorgert, and Patrick Fossum, General Manager - Anderson & Koch Ford.

Eighth graders just completed a reverse self-portrait painting in art class. They recreated their likeness with Sharpie on a clear plastic sheet, then flipped it over to paint on the back. They chose 3 analogous colors (colors that touch on the color wheel) for their hair and clothing. The final step was using complementary colors to add texture and interest to the background. This bold and expressive project definitely pushed some students out of their comfort zone!
