Jim Shaw's Ace Flying Academy
The ACE Academy @ the Smith Reynold’s Airport is in Winston-Salem. This camp is an excellent opportunity for students interested in careers in aviation. It’s also great for parents who are looking for a worth-while summer camp.
This year with the delays of the public school summer, Mr. Shaw has agree to host a session June 10-14. He is doing a middle and high school combo and giving the Leadership Academy students first dibs on the 50 slots available. The large grant that subsidizes this program is an extra bonus. The fee for the week, M-F 8-3pm, Lunch and snacks included is $125 per student.
There is also a series of Saturday sessions each month in conjunction with the ACE Summer Camp. The 1st session is set for February 16th. LINK to register or for more information: https://shawaceacademy.sportngin.com/register/form/252414977?_ga=2.43765093.1907469353.1548360884-2057757726.1548360884
NCLA Letterman Jackets
I have had several folks ask about ordering letterman jackets for christmas.
If you think you may be interested in ordering a letter jacket (possibly as a Christmas gift) please complete the form below.
We will let you know how much the jackets are once we place an order this week. The ones ordered last year were right at $100
- The jackets RUN BIG. (The one Charlotte has on is a Medium)
- They are fully lined and are wool. They are really nice jackets.
- We will sell you the jackets at cost. The school will provide the letters and pins to the athletes that earned them. Jackets can only be purchased by athletes that earned a letter last year or this year so far. You will have to have the letters sewn on as well as any embroidery on the jackets. DO NOT SEND IN ANY MONEY UNTIL WE CONTACT YOU.
