Thank you so much for your support of 6th grade's "Black Friday" event. Our sudents were so encouraged by your enthusiasm, kind words, and support of their products. With your support, a whopping $1,751 was raised for World Vision and a hefty collection of food was gathered for a food pantry at a local church. See a screenshot of how the students elected to spend this money within the World Vision Christmas catalog. - Mrs. Nelson, 6th Grade Teacher

(Pictures of the event are found below.)

Additionally, 25 Christmas food boxes were filled and delivered by our National Honor Society to the West Linn Food Pantry. Your contributions were greatly appreciated and blessed many in our local community.

At NCCS, we have some favorite traditions. One of those events is "Wall Week", which we include during Homecoming. High School classes design a themed poster, based on the school verse, for a competition judged by a designated panel. These posters are hung in the gym for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, secondary classes put together a lip sync performance to share at an assembly, which are also judged and scored for a class competition.

Finally, high school students nominate class representatives, the King's Court, that depict particular traits valued by NCCS. These students are recognized the night of the Homecoming games, this year on Jan.13.

School Spirit Day, with everyone wearing Saints gear and colors, is Jan. 13. Dress up to show your school spirit and plan to come to the home basketball games later that evening. PTF is planning a fun community event this day, more info to come. GO SAINTS!!!

We are completed with the first half of our Campus Improvement Project (CIP). The "Music" and "400" buildings will be next, and we will UPDATE THE GYM BREEZEWAY (install entry doors, siding, new lighting, flooring, and paint).

In order to fully complete this project, we must raise $150,000. If you are able to give to the Campus Improvement Project, please use the QR code below, or checks are also accepted through our office. We would also welcome any efforts to share this need with others in your circle of influence. Questions or inquiries should be directed to Sherri James.

Thank you to those who have already given to this significant project. You are making a difference to the future of NCCS and its mission! Most recently, these donations have been given to our project:

• LBD Landscape completed an update to our front building landscaping (see picture).
• Oregon Outdoor Lighting will install decorative and functional lighting to the front of our school.
• Northwest Door & Supply is creating a set of security doors for the gym breezeway entrance.
