School Supply Fundraiser
May 28, 2021 to July 16, 2021
Free Shipping Ends June 18, 2021
Online
Enjoy the crazy, easy convenience of ordering school supplies through NMISF - your one stop shop! A portion of the proceeds will go to NMISF for supporting the School. This program is a fundraiser to support NMIS and is optional; however, if you choose to not purchase through NMISF then you will still need to purchase school supplies on your own for your student(s). We need volunteers to help distribute the boxes to classrooms once they are shipped to the school. The exact date is TBD but is likely the first week of August.
Uniform/Spirit Wear Sales
June 14, 2021 to July 16, 2021
Online / Pick-Up Location TBD
We need volunteers to help count the uniform items when we receive them from our vendor and to organize them by order. The exact date is TBD but is likely the last week of July. We also need volunteers to help us hand out orders to families before the first day of school. The exact dates are TBD but are likely August 6th and 7th.

Bring sunscreen, a hat and your enthusiasm to make this happen!

Balloon Aloft - CANCELED
Canceled
NMIS Parking Lot
Balloon Aloft is CANCELED for Friday, October 1. We will be working with our pilot who has graciously offered to come back on another date. We know that this is a sad decision but as much as we would love this event to go forward, we think it’d be a pretty miserable morning to get up so early and either get rained out or not be able to see the balloon inflate.
What: Let’s celebrate the start of Balloon Fiesta by welcoming the Saki Bomber hot air balloon piloted by Loretta Zamora.
When: Join us Friday, October 1st at 7am to watch the balloon fill up around 7:30am. Children must be supervised at all times and cannot be dropped off at school early. The school’s Family Handbook policies apply for morning drop-off.
Where: NMIS Playground; Parking available in the Chama Lot, overflow in the Montgomery lot, please avoid street parking if you can to respect the neighborhood so early in the morning.
Who: Everyone is welcome at this free event.
Clothing: Friday will be a Uniform-Free Day for all NMIS students!
Food: We will not be serving or selling any food or drinks this year. Please BYO-Coffee&Snacks for the morning.
Fundraiser: Whether or not you can join us in the morning, you can color the picture (link below) at home and turn it in to be hung up at the school!
Covid Safety: CDC approved masks are mandatory for all attendees 3 years of age and older unless actively eating or drinking. Actively eating or drinking means consuming food or drinks; masks must be worn while chewing. We also encourage social distancing for non-family members. Please respect these rules and keep our community safe.
We need volunteers to help with setup, cleanup, and the activities planned.
Trunk or Treat
Saturday, October 23, 2021
NMIS Campus
One of the greatest, most fun-filled NMISF fundraisers is just around the corner: Save the date for Trunk-or-Treat on October 23rd.Come join us for this family fun event and dress up in your best costume. By utilizing our spacious campus we’ve found a fun, safe way for our community to celebrate Halloween. Generous volunteers will be decorating their cars and the kids will be able to walk from vehicle to vehicle, collecting candy and other treats, the way they would during a normal trick-or-treating outing.
We have only held this event one time in the past: the fall just prior to the COVID pandemic. It was so much fun for our children and our community! The NMIS staff and NMISF volunteers want to see this event happen for our students who are thirsting for some social gatherings.
When: October 23rd from 12-4pm.
We're hoping to break up the timing of Trunk or Treat to allow people to enjoy it more, with less crowd. Below are suggested sessions in order to limit the quantity of people at a given time. Families with multiple children go at the time session of their youngest student.
K-2nd (12-1:30 pm)
3-5th (1:30-3:00 pm)
6-8th (3:00-4:00 pm)
If you can't make it to your suggested time, please come when you can! The most important thing is to have you there! We can't wait to see everyone!
Where: NMIS Playground; Parking available in the Chama Lot, overflow in the Montgomery Lot - Please respect our neighbors and do not park on the street unless the parking lots are full.
Fun: We’re partnering with the Student Council to bring you some fun and spooky activities!
