Update: Congratulations to Amelie Soslow ’25 for winning an Honorable Mention at the National level for her writing portfolio.
For the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, our writers' work gets sent to the South Region at Large for judging so that it can be read alongside work from all over the Southeast. This year, we had 25 pieces recognized in the regional competition; the two Gold Key pieces — Amelie Soslow's Writing Portfolio and Mei Tyson's poem — will go on to national judging. Students in grades 8-12 all had work recognized. Thanks to all of you who support our writers, in the classroom and beyond it, throughout their time at USN. Please congratulate these writers when you see them!

Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled
Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.Read More -
