NDMS Griffin Families,

We are proud to announce that Tinlee Cardone has been selected as the North DeSoto Middle School Student of the Year!

Tinlee is a shining example of what it means to embody our core values of learning, leadership, and service. She works hard in the classroom, leads by example among her peers, and makes a positive contribution to our school community in many ways.

We are thrilled for Tinlee to represent NDMS at the District Level and know she will continue to make us proud.

Students like Tinlee are what make North DeSoto Middle School such a wonderful place to learn and grow. Please join us in congratulating her and wishing her the best as she moves forward in the competition!

They make good decisions, manage priorities, are kind to others, and exemplify what it means to be a true Griffin! Way to go, Griffins! October's Griffins show discipline, they continue behaving and working in a controlled way which involves obeying specific rules or standards.
