November 2024
Quarter 1 Ends on 11/7/24
Let’s dive into the highlights from October as we move into November.
As we step into November, we have a lot to look forward to! 🍂 Mark your calendars for our Fall Arts Night, where our talented students will showcase their creativity. Plus, winter sports are just around the corner, so get ready to cheer on our teams! 🏀🏒 And let’s not forget, Thanksgiving break is on the horizon, giving us all a chance to relax and reflect on what we’re grateful for. It’s also the end of the 1st marking term, so let’s finish strong!
Things to remember Parents, please keep in mind the upcoming events and deadlines as we transition into this busy month. Encourage your students to stay on top of their assignments as we wrap up the marking term. Also, don’t forget to support our winter sports teams when the season kicks off!
Until next time! Thank you for being such an integral part of our NDHS family! Let’s keep the spirit alive as we move through November. We appreciate your support and can’t wait to share more exciting updates with you soon! Go NDHS!
