North End Middle School

It was great to meet parents and families at our new student orientation. Thank you all for the excellent turnout and we will see you again on August 26th!

Hello Ram Fam!

We are hosting our last uniform clothing drive of this school year which will run from now until Friday, June 14th.

Since February 2022 the school uniform clothes bank has had more than 800 visits by students and given out more than 1,500 pieces of clothing. This year alone we have had more than 370 visits and given out more than 675 pieces of clothing.

None of this is possible without the help & support of our school families! If your child has outgrown uniforms they can no longer use we'd love to take them off your hands. (We are also always thrilled to take donations of new items if you want to go out and pick up a few things to help support our school community! 😊)

Donations can be sent in with your child or dropped off at the main office during school hours. Even one item per student would go a long way toward helping stock our shelves!
