Congratulations to these two outstanding students on winning our business math competition at Newcastle Middle School!

For 5 years, we have partnered with Mr. Smith’s 8th grade math class to do an end of year, 2 class period program where students separate into “companies” and are challenged to bid a job similar to how local construction companies do. To win the competition, they have to submit the lowest bid, meet a certain profit margin, and cover a minimum cost threshold. Our goal has been to make this as real-life as possible and help teach the students to organize data into factual analysis while teaching principles of business along the way.

Special thanks to Mr. Smith, and Principal Bartlett of Newcastle Middle School for the years of partnership and to That Embroidery Place in Gillette for making the shirts for the winners!

We’re almost there! Just FIVE more school days next week and we’ll wrap up another successful year at NMS. Before we get to all that, please make sure that your child has turned in their library books, sports uniforms, etc. before school ends next Friday. We’ll also be turning in laptops next Monday and Tuesday and cleaning lockers next Tuesday as well (please send bags to bring everything home that day!).

Wednesday, May 20th will be our 8th grade trip to Outlaw Ranch. We will leave as soon as we can after morning attendance and will not be back until 4:30 that afternoon. So, morning buses will be fine but please have a plan for transportation home from school when we get back. Mrs. Beehler has sent out lots of information, so please check for more details on what to wear, what to bring, and what that fun day entails for our 8th graders.

On Thursday, May 21st, qualifying students will go to Flight Zone as part of our WYTOPP Incentive Day. Students can choose to stay back if they’d prefer since we’ll be having fun activities here that day (including a swimming party), but if students are going to Flight Zone, they must have a waiver filled out by their parent or guardian. I emailed a copy of the waiver to all students who qualified, we have hard copies in the office, or you can complete the waiver online here: https://flightzonewy.com/waiver/. Students have the option to pack their lunch to Flight Zone or sign up for a sack lunch from the school. They are also welcome to bring money for snacks and arcade games while we’re at Flight Zone.

And Friday, May 22nd is our last day of school. Students and staff will dress up nice for the last day to celebrate AND to be ready for our Awards Assembly that begins at 12:30pm in Crouch Auditorium that day. At the conclusion of the assembly, we will dismiss students and say goodbye to the 25-26 school year!

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. Otherwise have a great weekend, and we’ll see everyone next week for the last days of school!

The last NMS dance of the year takes place tonight. 8th graders & their families are invited at 6pm, while the 6th and 7th grade students can join us at 6:30. Please plan on using the Dogie Dome doors for drop-off and pick-up and be sure to have a plan for getting home as soon as the dance ends at 8pm.

Our track & field athletes will travel to Hulett tomorrow to compete for district championships and try to break even more school records! The bus leaves at 6am. Go Calves!

Next week we should have enough data from the WYTOPP ELA tests to determine who has qualified for the Flight Zone on May 21st. We’ll also start solidifying plans for the fun activities here that day for those that didn’t qualify or choose to stay behind.

Before all that, we have a busy week ahead! The 6th grade Greek Plays will be on Monday at 6pm in the auditorium. We’ll also have Women in Science at Black Hills State University next Wednesday, along with a fun day of activities for boys organized by Ms. Manders and Dr. Colgrove, the 8th Grade Triathlon on Thursday, and the District Art Show to wrap up the week.

Please reach out if you have any questions. Otherwise, mark your calendars and have a great weekend!
