Week of 10/26-10/30

 

Fall is such a beautiful time of year to enjoy God's creation! We love playing at recess in this beautiful weather.  October is a super fun and busy month in Kindergarten.  We have lots of great activities coming up. Please mark your calendars with the upcoming dates and details provided below.  

LOWER SCHOOL GRANDPARENTS DAY is coming soon!!

On Friday, Oct. 23rd, we look forward to honoring our Grandparents and Grandfriends during a day of celebration! While this beloved tradition will look a little different this year, we still want to honor and celebrate our amazing grandparents and grandfriends, who mean so much to our students and to our school family. 

To allow for quality time with their grandparents and grandfriends, this day will be an optional half-day for LS & MS students. Grandparents and grandfriends are welcome to pick up students early from school for a special lunch or afternoon together off campus. (Students who stay will remain in their classrooms per usual that afternoon. Lower and Middle School students who stay will need to bring lunch from home, as food services will only be open for Upper School that day. Afternoon carline will begin at 2:30, and Flipside will begin and end at the normal times that afternoon.) 

Lower School Optional Early Dismissal | 11:15 a.m

We will have our annual Orange Day on Friday, Oct. 23rd. All of Lower School will be able to wear ANYTHING Orange.

NCCS spirit week is October 26th -30th 

All Lower School students are encouraged to participate in dressing up for Homecoming week!  Please look at the daily themes for each day...this is completely optional of course!  

Dress up attire should be appropriate and practical- no masks, scary characters , and/or high heel shoes will be allowed.  Uniforms should be worn if your child chooses not to participate.  It is intended to be fun and show our school spirit.

Pumpkin Day is coming 10/30!

Friday, October 30th will be K5’s “Pumpkin Day”.  We will carve pumpkins, play pumpkin games, make pumpkin crafts, enjoy pumpkin treats & participate in STEAM challenges.  In order to make this a fun day for our students, we need help from our wonderful parents!  A Sign-up Genius was sent in your email last week.  If you are able, we would love some donations for our special day.  We appreciate you so much!

This week we learned:

Bible- Story of Joseph
