NAMS is currently recruiting sixth-grade students for KAB — Kids All Belong — for the 2024-25 academic year. If your sixth-grade student is interested in signing up to participate in KAB, have them complete the Google form on Schoology.

To be a member of KAB, students need to be passing all their classes and follow the code of conduct and SMART expectations.

The group is looking for students who can be positive climate changers in the building. KAB students will help to create a school climate where “kids all belong”; design schoolwide activities, such as unity day, pink shirt day and 143 Day; welcome new students to NAMS; plan new student socials; and assist with fifth-grade transition activities.
