NOVA Middle School

We found another photo from the archives and had to share it. 📸

What's the first memory that comes to mind when you see it?

We're going through the photo albums!

Remember when this was just another normal day at NOVA? Looking back, those ordinary moments ended up being some of the best ones.

Learning by doing has always been kind of our thing.

What hands-on NOVA project do you remember most?

What a wonderful night of music from our orchestra and band students 🎶

This concert was extra special thanks to the community members who joined in to help round out the sound, including a teacher, a parent, and even a sibling.

It was a lovely reminder of how much music brings people together.

This spring’s choir concert was so much more than a concert.

Students explored the connections between music, literature, art, and history by performing songs inspired by literary works.

They created original art collages and presented about the writers and composers behind each piece.

And then… they got up there and sang beautifully!🎶

A little dirt under the fingernails, a few worms discovered, and a lot of good work getting done in the garden 🌱

Students spent time planting, cleaning up beds, and exploring all the tiny critters that make a garden thrive.

Hands-on learning at its best.

Where does our water go after it disappears down the drain? Our 6th graders got to find out during their field trip to LOTT and WET Science Center in Olympia!

They toured the facility, learned about the water treatment process, and got a behind-the-scenes look at the systems that help keep our community running.

A big thank you to Hands On Children's Museum for welcoming our students as volunteers!

From helping younger kids explore and create to learning responsibility, teamwork, and leadership, our students gain so much from experiences like these.

We love it when our enrichment classes connect learning with the wider community.

Art students have been creating all kinds of fun pieces in ceramics lately, and it’s been cool watching each one slowly turn from an idea into something completely unique.

You could say Carl helps us keep our outlook bright around here. 😄🪟

Thanks for all the hard work, the helping hands, and the many ways you take care of our school, Carl!
