North Gwinnett Middle School

6th Grade Bulldog Camp was a huge success! Lots of smiles and laughter all day long! Thank you to all the teachers that ran the camp for our newest crew to NGMS! A big shout out goes to our StuCo volunteers that showed up each day to make sure all the campers knew where to go and learn a little bit about middle school! It was a great week and we will see you in August!!

2023-2024 school year has been filled with lots of grows and glows! We wish the best for the rising 9th graders as they move on up to high school and we will see all the rising 7th and 8th graders in the fall! Have a wonderful and safe summer! And as middle schoolers would say… “Bruh…We Out!”

Congratulations to Ms. Uchida’s 8th grade advanced theatre arts class on their fabulous spring production of The Suessification of Romeo & Juliet!

In Ms. Wagner’s class the students learned about monotype color transfer is an application of solutions and solubility in art which uses a non-polar solvent to transfer a laser printed image to another piece of paper. They then added color and design to the transferred image using the natural pH indicator cabbage juice and changes the colors using lemon juice and/or baking soda solution. Science is so cool!!

North Gwinnett Middle School's final FCA had 276 students and over 30 staff and community members come out yesterday morning.

We hope you have a wonderful summer and we will see you in August for our first meeting of the new school year!

Thank you to our supportive NGMS administration, staff, PTSA and business partners for making We Are North a reason to be a proud Bulldog. We can't wait till next year!

NGMS and NGHS came together for a Vertical Leadership conference last weekend. They dressed up in Hawaiian attire to cruise into spring break and learned about the importance of communication as a leader. We had great breakout sessions on building trust, teamwork and using critical thinking in worst case scenarios. It was a great day of securing the building blocks of leadership. Thank you NGHS StuCo for joining forces with us!!

All next week, NGMS StuCo will be collecting brand new adult size pajamas to donate to Jambos. Please consider donating to this worthy cause.

Jambos’s mission is to bring comfort by providing them with a brand new set of pajamas as their transition into the foster care system.

Bring them to the front lobby or a grade level office and there will be a bin at each location. This is a great way to give to others!

Drinks and snacks/candy will be available to purchase with cash during the walk. All profits from the walk-a-thon will go towards the NGMS Relay Team's fundraising goal. Admission is only $5 to walk and can either be prepaid through MyPaymentsPlus or paid in cash the morning of the walk. Thank you for supporting the NGMS Relay for Life Team!
