Science Fair ~

Once again our students out did themselves by putting in such great effort into their Science Fair projects.  It was wonderful to talk with the students and hear all about how they conducted their experiments and what they learned from their scientific explorations!  Wonderful projects everyone!

Thanks to all of the family members that were able to join us for this afternoon of learning.  

Dance Play ~

The students spent the entire week participating in a dance residency program put on by Dance Pl3y.  The students did not hold back showing off their moves.  Here are a few pictures and videos to show what it was about.  Stay tuned because you will get to see more about their experience at the Appreciation Tea!

  

After such a busy week last at NHCS, it looks like this week will be much quieter.  There are just a few things on the calendar for this week.
