Week of February 3rd
February 3rd is an E Day.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend!
This week, NPS will kick-off the MPAC residencies with the Intermediate performance on Wednesday, February 5th. Families are invited to attend (doors open at 11am; performance begins at 11:15am). Senior and Primary performance will be held the following week.
NPS a “Souper Bowl” food drive to benefit the Interfaith Food Pantry runs until February 6th. We have bins inside the school by the front door. Each bin is labeled as one of the two Super Bowl teams (Chiefs/Eagles). Vote for your favorite Super Bowl team by dropping off non perishable items in either of the boxes. All donated food will be counted on February 6th. We will compare which team brought in the most food. Either way it’s a win-win for all! We look forward to seeing what teams our NPS families will be rooting for!!

Black History Month
February is Black History Month.
Black History Month was created to highlight the history and the accomplishments of black Americans. Today, we continue to celebrate Black History Month, but also emphasize studying the accomplishments of Black Americans year round. Every morning, we will open the announcements by learning about an influential African American.
