Happy STEM Day! 🚀🔬 A day to celebrate how our students are 'building' knowledge, 'engineering' fun, and 'calculating' their path to success! 🧠💡
NPS celebrates and honors the rich histories, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of Native Americans. This month is an opportunity to reflect, learn, and appreciate the vibrant traditions and resilience of Indigenous peoples. Let’s come together to recognize the important role Native Americans have played in shaping our nation and community.
Talking to your kids about substance abuse use can be intimidating. The Talk They Hear You app can help.
The app shows parents how to turn everyday situations into opportunities to talk with their kids about alcohol and other drugs. It also equips them with the necessary skills, confidence, and knowledge to start and continue these conversations as their kids get older! #NPSMentalHealthMonday
Start Strong, Finish Strong 💪 Regular attendance sets the foundation for a successful school year.

🎃👻 What do you get when Norman North's Homecoming is the same week as Halloween? A frightfully fun Homecoming Parade! The Timberwolves brought the Halloween spirit with amazing costumes and creative floats.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support and make this event a spooky success! Keep the spirit going at the football game Friday night at Harve Collins! 🧙♀️🏈🎉
Mental illness-related costumes and decorations have long been part of Halloween. Imagine how these could make someone experiencing mental illness or receiving mental health care feel and what message it is sending.
You can be spooky this Halloween while also being mindful! #NPSMentalHealthMonday
