This school year we will focus on:

Jesus Came

He Died

He Arose

He Ascended

He's Coming Back

----Believe!!

We will be celebrating people's testimonies and how they came to know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

Please be sure to call in your child or email Ms. Alex if they are absent for any reason. Her email address is alex@nhcscrusaders.org.

Please call by 9 am if possible.

***There have been many sicknesses going around school. Please be reminded that students need to be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. Students also need to be vomit free for 24 hours as well.

NHCS now has a student led prayer team. These students meet twice a month to pray over our school, staff, and students. They will now also be praying over specific needs that students place into the prayer box.

The prayer box is located outside the main office.

Dear NHCS families,

It’s that time of year again. Preparations are underway for the 2023 Christmas program. We will continue the tradition of celebrating our Jesus this year with a program called “Believe” which will reference all that your student has been learning about Him this year. Below and on the back of this letter you will find a list of what your student or students will need to wear the night of the Christmas program. If you have any problems finding or paying for any of these items, please reach out to myself or the office. We look forward to sharing about Jesus this season.

Thanks for your continued support,

Kenda Hyde (khyde@nhcscrusaders.org)
