Help NMS Bloom With Color!

Help me give my students a more colorful spring campus! With the help of our generous donors, we want to beautify our campus with bulbs in the sun and ferns in the shade for Spring 2025 and beyond!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Field's classroom raised $361

My Project

The NMS Garden Club has worked hard since it began in 2022 to make our campus more friendly to pollinators, as well as beautifying our campus and nourishing our students!

With your help, we want to plant bright spring bulbs and green ferns to fill in the empty landscape beds around our aging campus.

We want to add to the beauty of the old growth we already have while making our campus more colorful and welcoming in the future!

Our previous planting projects have already brightened the spirits of our staff and students, as well as helped pollinators and birds stay busy and nourished.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Ms. Field Northside Middle School Grades 6-8
