Week of December 17 - 21

It is Christmas concert time again!  Each year while we practice we wonderful if it will ever come together.  Each year the students and staff work diligently to make their magic happen.  My fingers are crossed that will hold true for this year. I guess we will find out Thursday.  

Here are some pictures of events that took place at school this week:

Christmas Concert ~ 

NHCS presents "T'was A Night Before Christmas" on Thursday, December 20th.  We will have an afternoon performance at 1:00 pm. and an evening performance at 7:00 pm.  This year we will be using some of our seating space for risers for the students so we are encouraging any extended family such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc to try to attend the afternoon performance if possible.  

***Please note that there is a change in schedule for our special visitor. Their visit will now be taking place at the school in the afternoon.  The special visitor will not be at the school for the evening performance.*** 

Doors for the evening performance will open at 6:30 pm . All students are asked to be in their classrooms by 6:45 at the latest.  

Donations to the Food Bank will be accepted at the door.

Refreshments will be served after each performance.  

Parking is available in the north field. Please leave the bus lane for elderly guests or people with accessibility needs.  Thank you.

Everyone is welcome to attend!  We hope to see you there.

Christmas Bake Sale ~ 

The Grade 5/6 class will be holding a Christmas bake sale on the Christmas Concert day.  They are asking for donations of items in sets of a baker's dozen.  If you are able to donate baking, please call the school and let Mrs. Austin know.  All donations are greatly appreciated.

Depending on the amount of baking donated, sales will take place after each of the performances.  All items will be sold as a baker's dozen for $5.
