2019/20 School Verse
John 3:21
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
"Spread Joy and Run Like Crazy" at THE JOG-A-THON!
This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
The NCCS annual schoolwide, Jog-A-Thon will take place on Friday, October 4th, 11:30am - 3:15pm. This "fun" fundraiser will support NCCS general fund and will take place on our own field. This is one of the greatest fundraisers of the year, with a goal to raise $8000 (or more!). We are thrilled to have Kona Ice as our event sponsor this year. Every student who participates will get a FREE Kona Ice treat after the event.
This schoolwide event will not only raise funds for our school, it will encourage healthy activity and a sense of community in the lives of our students!
