12. Pitsco Stem Lab
Our school is one of two lucky schools in our district who was granted the Pitsco Stem Lab grant. Only a few of these are in the state. Pitsco partnered with NRMS to build a stem lab where students can learn life skills to become globally competitive. This lab is an elective and hopefully all 6th graders will experience this lab by the time they reach, 8th grade.
