Art Classes "Cash In"
Ms. Beck's and Ms. C Jones' Art classes,
under the direction of Ms. Phillips,
participated in the "Fundred" project last week. Each student
created a Fundred--a unique piece of money. This is a
national project that raises money to clean up lead contamination in
soil in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. An armored truck is
picking up the Fundreds from Berkmar Middle school in
March. Organizers hope to collect 3,000,000 Fundreds from
children all over the USA and exchange them in Washington DC this
summer for $300,000,000 (yes, that is real money!) that will clean
up and decontaminate the soil of New Orleans it so children living
there will not suffer from lead poisoning in the future.

Checkmate
The NES Competitive Chess Team soared to a 5th place
finish out of 20 teams this weekend at the Eastern Metro Regional
Tournament.
The students were great ambassadors for NES - they not
only performed remarkably well but were publicly recognized by the
tournament directors for staying and assisting with clean up in the
tournament area following the final round.
Team captains Melvin M.
and Vanessa D.
led all NES players with 4 out of 5 wins!
