Congratulations Riley
Also, Riley Green has been selected as a semi-finalist for the Morehead-Cain Scholarship to The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Being named a semi-finalist for one of the most prestigious undergraduate scholarships in the country is a tremendous honor for her and for our school.
SOAR -
We do not ask students to sell wrapping paper or candy bars etc but instead give our families and community and opportunity to support our work at The NCLA through direct donation.
This past year, we were able to continue our school report card performance grade of B, purchase a new activity bus for students to use for field trips and athletics, purchased a water bottle filler fountain, ice machine, and gave our teachers bonus'. We need your help again this year to continue our work. Please return the RED envelope with your donation or pledge amounts. Click here for SOAR letter to share with family. YOU CAN DONATE ONLINE THROUGH OUR website under SOAR.
As many of you have heard from those that attended the parent meeting, we are also planning to expand our campus!
Our target is 100% participation from our families and faculty with a goal of $75,000. No tax-deductible gift is too small or too large and with the added support of our families and friends, the ability to make a significant impact can become a reality. A tax donation record will be generated for every donation above $50 and upon request for lesser amounts. What a great time of year to maximize your tax benefits! Options to donate:
Cash or Checks made payable to The NCLA with Soar and students' name in memo line
One time online payments http://thencla.org/soar.html in designated amounts
Recurring monthly payments can be made by setting up Billpay through your banking institution. You can do this electronically through your bank’s bill pay or go into the branch and they will set it up for you.

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.
