Lady Griffins basketball parents' meeting Thursday, October 3 @ 4:30 PM.
Our mighty NDMS and NDHS Griffin Bands performed at the Griffins vs Falcons game last night. They rehearsed together, taught each other new songs, ate pizza, danced, cheered, played, and had the best time supporting our North DeSoto High School Griffins. ❤️💙 #bettertogether
At this time, NDMS would like to recognize our Teacher of the Year, Ms. Carla McClain. Ms. Carla McClain has served DeSoto Parish Schools for 24 years. She currently teaches 8th grade social studies. She actively participates in SBLC and helps to organize our annual student-led Veteran’s Day program honoring all local veterans. She also leads student service initiatives. Ms. McClain does so much for so many behind the scenes. We could not think of anyone better to represent NDMS.
NDMS would also like to recognize our Support Personnel Member of the Year, Mrs. Eunice Harris. Mrs. Harris lovingly serves all teachers, students, and stakeholders that enter our building each day. There is not a job in this building she hasn’t done. We appreciate all of her humble acts of love and couldn’t be more thankful that she is a member of our NDMS family. We love you, U-NICE!
Thank you, ladies, for being THE DESOTO DIFFERENCE!
