Please join our NCHS Counselors and Community Members on Thursday, November 14th from 6:00-7:30pm for a suicide prevention training, please fill out this form if you plan on attending. All parents/caregivers are welcome.

This training is important for your child and their friends.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 14-24 in Washington and the United States. Many suicides are preventable! Mental health problems among young adults are more common than many families realize. Parents and family members sometimes struggle to understand their student’s mental health concerns—or even to recognize that their student is in distress. Learning that their student is having suicidal thoughts can create extreme stress for the family. This training provides resources to help parents and families support those who are struggling with their mental wellness. Click here to register.

If you have additional questions please reach out to Dawn LaMance at dlamance@nsd.org

The North Creek/Skyview PTSA Food Pantry will be providing Thanksgiving Meals again this year to families in need of food support. Please use either the English form or the Spanish form to submit your request.

The Thanksgiving Meal consists of: Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, a canned vegetable side, gravy, potatoes, chicken stock, canned fruit, dinner rolls and a pie. (As always, this is what we hope to be able to provide, but the final meal will be dependent on donations received and food supply availability).

We will be taking requests until Tuesday, November 19. We will not be able to accommodate any late requests.

Sponsor a Family:

Please click on the link here to sponsor a family for Thanksgiving Meal. Each meal cost $45, but any dollar amount helps. We are planning for around 50 families needing a meal based of last year’s numbers.

Any donations in excess of what we need for Thanksgiving Meals, we will use to supply the Food Pantry with fresh produce or other canned items needed.

NCHS PTSA is a 501c3 and all donations made are tax deductible.

** Deadline extended for Reflections. New date 11/22/2024**

PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student art program. Students of all grades and abilities may participate by submitting original pieces of work in 6 categories: dance, musical composition, visual arts, film, literature and photography. Each year, students create work based on a theme. This year’s theme is “Accepting Imperfection”.

Judging is based on both the artwork and artist statement, and will be judged at the local level, and may continue to state, and even the National PTA level.
