Important NMS Friends membership changes
Dear Parents, Grandparents, Uncles & Aunts, Teachers, former Students and everybody who is, and who wants to be, a Friend of NMS!
We are happy to introduce to you our new membership 2 in 1 donation concept - to make your financial contributions to the school simpler for you. Membership donations are now collected at three levels.Your contribution at all membership levels includes your membership contribution to the Friends and the former 65,- Euro IT/Library fund (which 97% of parents had paid into).
We are now asking each and every family to contribute to our school (including support for IT & Library) paying monthly or yearly through a Friends membership contribution.
Please read through the three possibilities and choose the level of support right for your family.
We thank you for your trust and your commitment in becoming a Friend of NMS.
#betterbybike – StatusRad Projektwochen der 9B: Spaß – Spenden – Schüler*innenmobilität
Am Weltfahrradtag (3.Juni) vor den Sommerferien startete die 9B mit dem Fahrradprojekt StatusRad, eine von insgesamt fünf bundesweiten Projektwochen, die Jugendlichen das Radfahren als urbanes Verkehrsmittel mit Statuscharakter näherbringen sollen.

Trotz hitzefrei und Vorferienstimmung waren die Schülerinnen und Schüler der 9B mit Spaß, Neugier und ergebnisorientiert bei der Sache. Am Ende der fünf abwechslungsreichen Projekttage präsentierten sie ihre Vorschläge für eine fahrradfreundlichere Schule Vertreter*innen der Schulleitung, der GEV, der Friends of NMS, des bezirklichen FahrRats und des Verkehrsclub Deutschland (VCD), und überreichten eine Spende für World Bicycle Relief (WBR), um Schüler*innen im südlichen Afrika mit Fahrrädern auszustatten.

Vera Gramann 19.08.1967 – 18.06.2019
Vera’s first role at the NMS was in 2012 when her daughter Lilli joined the school. As a parent she was already an active member of the school community, helping out wherever she could. At the beginning of 2015 she became a member of the Madiba Choir and it wasn’t long before she joined the NMS social pedagogue team. Her arrival was like a breath of fresh air and she soon became a highly valued member of staff. When she joined the team she brought a great deal of experience with her.Having studied social pedagogy, Vera later trained as a mediator. She had worked in both the private and public sector and had spent five years in San Diego where she worked with young offenders.

No such thing as a free lunch? Not true in the NMS Primary Cafeteria - lunch is free for all children
New for 2019/20: Free lunch in Primary
From the school year 2019/20 lunch will be free of charge. We encourage all parents to sign up their children for lunch, so that our students can enjoy a warm meal in school together.
