Congrats to the 22 Mini-Marathoners of NMS !
Twenty-two students participated in the 30th mini-Marathon held last Saturday, 15th of September 2018. The students were motivated and happy to run along side 10,000 other participants from different schools. It was a great event and we are looking forward to next year's mini-Marathon. Thank you to all volunteers who helped organise the event for the school. Congratulations to all runners! The NMS Community is proud of your achievement!
Coming up next: Festival of Nations 2018 on Saturday, 22 September
For several years, this Festival was called the ‘Sommerfest’ and was run by the educators to celebrate the end of the school year. In the beginning of 2011 it became known as the Festival of Nations. Moving the
event to the beginning of the year was done to include the older students before they got too busy with
their exams, and to fire up the school community at the start of the year, something which is especially
important for new parents. Read more and get the detailed Festival Planning & Stand Guide here.
We need YOU !
BOOK DONATIONS: We are looking for donations of Books, DVDs and Audio Books for the Book Stand. These can be in English or German, in good condition and preferably items that are likely to sell. Donations can already be dropped off at the Primary Library at P23 or at the entrance of B24.
Bring a Cup! The book stand team will also be offering coffee and cake at the Festival. Please feel free to bring your own ‘Coffee to Go’ cup to save on paper!
