Nichols Leadership Academy News #3

Hello Navigators,

On Wednesday we will hold our Annual Title 1 Meeting at 5:30 in the MPR. At this meeting I will share information about Title 1 funding and programming.

Immediately following the Title 1 meeting we will hold our monthly PTO meeting. Our PTO is amazing and planning so much for our students. I hope you will join us to learn more and contribute in any way you can.
