Calling all Norse supporters!
Volunteers needed to appraise (judge) at the Regional Destination Imagination tournament
at Mona Shores High School on Saturday March 10th from 8am-4pm. Must be over 18 and out of high school and attend a training on Saturday February 11th.
Every year a few large schools make up the majority of appraisers so it is our goal this season to bring more appraisers than we have teams to increase our school's input on the appraising process of our teams.
If you know of any adult over 18 and out of high school who is willing to train and appraise at the March 10th tournament have them contact
Missi Nadeau as soon as possible: mnadeau_ihs@comcast.net  or 231-750-0200.

State Announces 2010-11 Schools "Beating the Odds"

“Beating the Odds” schools have found ways to work smarter and harder, not just harder. They have good leaders, knowledgeable and prepared teachers who engage students and a commitment to involve and embrace parents and the community.” 
- Mike Flanagan, Superintendent of Public Instruction

 "To make this list a school must be performing above and beyond others with similar demographics.  Our High School has done just that!  We all know that it takes a full district effort for success to shine at the High School level.  Way to go NM!  We should all feel very proud!" 
- Dr. Curt Babcock, Superintendent of North Muskegon Public Schools

The new cut scores represent a significantly higher standard for student achievement, and are intended to ensure that all students are on track to be successful in an increasingly "global" economy.
