This month, we have the privilege of celebrating Easter, and we reflect upon the death, burial and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 1:3-5, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time."

Thank you to all who contributed time, effort, money, and prayers to our Warrior Fund Gala. It was a beautiful night. We are so grateful to partner with each of the families represented!

Congratulations to Mrs. Bink and the students that performed in the spring musical, Dear Edwina Jr! The students did a wonderful job.

Our National Honors Society has teamed up with the Brightmoor Foster Care ministry to provide Easter gift bags for foster children. We are pleased to report NCA has contributed 167 chapsticks, 128 pairs of socks, 121 tubes of toothpaste, 71 bottles of body wash, 76 deodorant, 244 toothbrushes and 36 bottles of lotion! What generous students and families we have!

Thursday, April 6th is a free jeans day for everyone in thankfulness to our students and families for their generous donations!

Reading Month was a great success! The students read an incredible amount of minutes. The class who read the most in lower and upper elementary will have a party sometime after spring break. Thanks to all you parents who helped with the book fair. We sold many books and the school will share in the profits. Reading month is so much fun, I hope the students continue their love of reading throughout the summer.

Elementary students enjoyed their first Cookies and Milk reading night! Pastor Jamie kicked off the night by reading the students his favorite story, then Mrs. Stotler and Mrs. Davenport shared some reading strategies, and students enjoyed cookies and milk while they practiced those reading strategies with their parents. The night ended with some of our very own NCA and Brightmoor authors sharing about their published books which families had a chance to purchase at the end of the night.
