Today NMS and MPS 8th grade students participated in "Learn the Beat." First responders from San Bernardino County Sheriff, San Bernardino County Fire, California Highway Patrol, Mohave Valley Fire, Mohave Valley dispatch, and ER staff from WARMC demonstrated and taught these students the rhythm of CPR. Each student was able to practice on a training aid for 1 minute. It was a great opportunity for our students.

Here is some good news for San Bernardino County students in elementary, middle and high school across the county, and especially for teens without cars:

K-12 students can ride free every day on every bus system in San Bernardino County.

The K-12 Student Free Fare Program is sponsored by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority and is a one-year pilot project paid for primarily with Low Carbon Transit Operations funding, which seeks to reduce carbon emissions by increasing transit use.

This program is one way transportation agencies have stepped up efforts to get people out of individual cars and into public transportation. In this case, it’s helping students and families. This program gives students a little financial break, too.

Students can use the buses to go to school or anywhere else. The free-fare program is being implemented separately by each system. Riders should contact their local bus system for more information and for schedule details.

In June the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe honored Jackie Bensley as Educator of the Year. Jackie has worked for NUSD since 1980. She has spent the majority of her tenure in elementary and special education. We are so grateful for her 43 years of service and our students are lucky to have her.

Needles High School introduced its new mascot Mustang Mike in today’s pep rally. His special performance, alongside cheer, was an exciting way to celebrate his arrival.

Monument Peak School enjoyed juice and muffins while taking part in their “book tasting” event. They were able to read and answer questions all while enjoying refreshments.

Today Dr. Garry Cameron made it to every classroom at all NUSD sites. He took the opportunity to say hello and share his excitement for the start of the new year.
