Can you believe how quickly the year is flying by? It feels like just yesterday, we were kicking off the semester! As May rolls in, NCHS prepares for the end of the school year's traditional events – prom, musical performances, concerts, picnics, awards, and graduation. However, let's not forget that balancing celebrations and staying focused is critical to ending the year strong.

In appreciation of our amazing NCHS faculty and staff, the PFA will be treating them to lunch Friday, May 3. We are grateful for the difference they make each and every day in the lives of our students.  Please help us thank them for all that they do! 

We're still looking for volunteers for these shifts. Can you help?

• Thursday, May 2 from 7:00-8:30 PM for set up (2 people) 
• Friday, May 3 from 10:30 AM-12:30 PM for serving (2 people)
• Friday, May 3 from 12:30-2:30 PM for serving and clean up (1 person)

Post Prom is right around the corner! This amazing event at Waveny House starts at 11:59 PM on May 17. The Post Prom party tradition wouldn't be possible without the support of parents, sponsors and volunteers. We are immensely grateful for this incredible community.
 

And, a very special thank you to Megan Sibbert and Meghan Finnegan for making it an unforgettable RamJam 2024! It was an evening buzzing with high energy for this fundraiser showcasing senior talent. Thank you for helping us successfully exceed our fundraising goal for the night!
