Please join us in celebrating the music of TNSM’s orchestra. We are thrilled to have Melissa Robinson, former NKU director of strings and TNSM parent, leading our orchestra program as she challenges and engages the children in their music.
Each year at TNSM, elementary students celebrate Halloween in a special way. The photos below, show some of the famous characters we’ve identified from previous years through their clever costumes and spoken clues about their lives. The 6th graders share their love of anatomy in a “D’em Bones” song that lists bones from (head) parietal bone… to (toe) the distal phalanges.
We are looking forward to this year’s celebration. Our typical schedule is listed below:
- At 12:15 the elementary children celebrate Halloween by having a party outdoors at recess. A number of volunteer parents sign up to bring healthy snacks and to help with crafts and games.
- At 1:45 the 6th graders sing their rendition of “D’em Bones” on the porch steps, covering many of the 206 bones in the human body in song. Parents are invited to attend.
- At 2:00 the elementary students dress up as famous historical or literary characters and parents and students guess who they might be from clues the child discloses. Parents are also invited to attend the “Who Am I?” portion of the festivities too.
Sign-up sheets or online signups for conference times will be available prior to conference day. Watch our weekly newsletter for reminders. Childcare is provided on an as-needed basis for children of New School age if you let us know you need it.

Elementary students perform a Thanksgiving play, a brief skit or a poetry reading as a way of sharing what they’re thankful for. There are also opportunities to give thanks with our annual community participation with Northside’s CAIN Foodbank. You may deliver clothes or canned goods to the Mansion Lobby on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
Parents and families are invited to attend and are welcome to join us after the students’ presentations for a small piece of pumpkin pie.
On this last day of school before winter break, we will not be offering our Extended-Day program from 3:00-6:00 for all students. Please make plans to pick up your children at 3:00.
