🥧 It was a fun-filled Friday at the NMHS student assembly celebrating all things Bulldogs. Not as much fun for the teachers getting a pie in the face! The teachers came up short in the staff vs. student competitions at 'Rise Above Day' on the first day of school, where students heard expectations about the district's four pillars: Responsible, Respectful, Safe and Kind. Rise Above Day also included a review of the student handbook and learning all about HOW to be a BULLDOG. Thank you, Principal Collins, for sharing this fun end to the week at NMHS!
It's time for a little Friday Night Lights! The theme is Blackout NIght. Wear all black!

🔴 About The Gates Scholarship
The Gates Scholarship (TGS) is a highly selective, last-dollar scholarship for outstanding, minority, high school seniors from low-income households. Each year, the scholarship is awarded to exceptional student leaders, with the intent of helping them realize their maximum potential.
Selected Scholars will receive funding for the full cost of attendance to earn a bachelor’s degree, that is not already covered by other financial aid and the Student Aid Index, as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), or the methodology used by a Scholar’s college or university. Costs covered include tuition, fees, books, and food and housing, and may include additional personal costs.

FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers as teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners and more. For this reason, the name of the organization was updated in 1988 after a vote of national convention delegates to reflect the growing diversity and new opportunities in the industry of agriculture.

Small but Mighty
In an overwhelming display of generosity, the North Mason Scholarship Foundation and community organizations awarded over $500,000 to seniors from NMHS and James A. Taylor High School at the Award Ceremony held last night. Recipients were beaming with joy, their faces bright with pride and gratitude as they walked up to receive their awards. It was a myriad of emotions in the faces of families, friends, staff, and administration that had gathered to celebrate. In between the speeches and awards was loud clapping and cheering to congratulate the students, many of whom made the walk up to the podium multiple times. At the end of the evening, students gathered in front of the bulldog backdrop for a picture with family, friends, and donors. Another small step on their way to do mighty things.

En una abrumadora muestra de generosidad, la Fundación de Becas North Mason y organizaciones comunitarias otorgaron más de $500,000 a estudiantes del último año de NMHS y de la escuela secundaria James A. Taylor en la ceremonia de premiación celebrada anoche. Los destinatarios estaban radiantes de alegría, con los rostros brillando de orgullo y gratitud mientras caminaban para recibir sus becas. Había una gran cantidad de emociones en los rostros de las familias, amigos, personal y administración que se habían reunido para celebrar. Entre los discursos y los premios hubo fuertes aplausos y vítores para felicitar a los estudiantes, muchos de los cuales subieron al podio varias veces. Al final de la noche, los estudiantes se reunieron frente del bulldog para tomarse una foto con familiares, amigos y donantes. Otro pequeño paso en su camino para hacer cosas poderosas.
