As part of our STREAM class, our Middle School students are learning real world skills. They have jobs they can apply for in the class - banker, teller, cashiers, cleaners, messenger, photographer, etc. They need to fill out an application for these jobs and then interview for them. From these jobs they earn a pay check, which is "class cash" deposited into their "bank account". They are learning how to write a check, keep a checkbook, and balance a checking account. They are also learning how to save their class cash to purchase items from the class store.

Our 2024 musical will be Annie Jr. We thank everyone who came out to audtion! Here is the list of who is playing which part.

Cullen Foundation is excited for the launch of the 2024 Cullen Scholars application process. 

Through our Cullen Scholars program, Cullen Foundation assists families of high-achieving students in mitigating the financial challenges of attaining a private middle school and high school education. Cullen Foundation believes that access to high quality education is critical for individual and community success. To this end, we provide an opportunity to a select group of high-performing students to attend a private school in the BISON Scholarship Fund network (K-8 schools in Erie County only) and the EdCo Network  (high schools in Erie County only). The entry point for this scholarship is grade 6 (i.e., for the 2024-25 school year).

The NDA Times is created by the middle school students of the Newspaper Club and is moderated by Mrs. Grew and Mrs. Zippier. Students aim to inform and entertain our NDA community by writing about topics and issues that matter to them! Article topics range from sports and school events to TV shows, video games, and music. The newspaper also includes original fiction, poetry, and comics written by the students. At the NDA Times, we work hard and hope our NDA community enjoys what we create!
