Pink shirt day will occur Feb. 28 at Northampton Area Middle School. Each year, NAMS participates in this day to show, as a school community, students and staff encourage everyone to practice kindness and that bullying will not be tolerated.
This year, NAMS is offering pink shirts for students and staff to purchase. Shirts cost $10 (cash only); turn in your money in an envelope with your name written on it to Mrs. Bowman in room 379, across from the library, during homeroom or Kids Team Time. All orders must be received by Jan. 29. T-shirts will be distributed to students in February.

NAMS’ Cherrydale fundraiser started this week. Fliers went out in the homerooms, but students can also register for an online account. The PTA’s goal is to raise $3,000 for student activities.
You can help by taking these simple steps: Register at shopfund.com; share your shopping link with family and friends via social media, email or text; and set a goal (students should aim for five online supporters).
For paper orders, checks are payable to NAMS PTA, and orders are due by Feb. 5.
For questions, email Fran Shehab at fshehab@rcn.com.
