Your Weekly Update from Natick High School

Principal's Message
Thanks to the students and families that have already contributed to the Food Drive. Items are quickly accumulating in our front lobby, visible to our entire school community. Please consider sending some non perishable items with your NHS student so we can maximize our donation to A Place to Turn. The collections will conclude and be tallied this coming Wednesday.
We are preparing for an all school Pep Rally on Wednesday's early release day. This is always a fun day that builds school pride and community. We look for ward to celebrating the school community on that day.
Please have a safe and restful Thanksgiving with friends and family.
Jason Hoye
Interim Principal
