Chats with Mr. Carter...

Welcome back everyone! I hope everyone got some rest and are recharged coming from our break. I look forward to seeing all of the students as we begin this second nine weeks and to see how well we are doing heading towards the end of the first semester. As you can tell, we are about to be right back in the middle of being busy, so hold on, press the gas and let's drive through all of it. We got this!

NDMS Yearbook has begun their fall fundraiser, collecting gently worn or new shoes, to help raise money for local North DeSoto families impacted by Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. Not only will you help local families, but the shoes also get a second life, helping others in need. It’s a double donation! Yearbook will be collecting gently worn or new shoes during morning assembly through November 20. Please help us reach our goal of filling 100 bags.
