Coach Davis and Ms. Merta’s 6th grade Social Studies classes discovered what it was like during the Columbia Exchange. Students traveled from the old world to the new world and found goods, religion, language, and even diseases were traded.

Ms. Fellers' 8th graders are diving headfirst into the world of Newton’s 3 Laws! They put on a spectacular show, demonstrating the Law of Inertia like true science wizards. The fun was off the charts, and they nailed the whole balancing act of forces—both balanced and unbalanced—with style!

Parents - did you know that if your child rides a bus to and from school, you have the ability to track the bus and to see when your child boards and exits the bus?
Install the NFT Parent View app on your mobile device to get access to student and vehicle tracking as well as notifications when there are unexpected changes to your child’s bus route.
