Dear families,

I've been having sporadic problems with my email and was not able to send out the Warrior Weekly yesterday.

Also, there are multiple varieties of cookie dough, popcorn and fudge cakes left for sale.  They'll be for sale at upcoming school events, or contact Nancy Bareham (202-4719) to make other purchase arrangements.  

 

Mrs. Sochay

PARENT-TEACHER COALITION:  Pastor Ryckman has requested every family be represented at the next PTC meeting on Monday, December 10th.  Also, there are still many families who have not stopped in the office to pick up their tape and information from the mandatory PTC meeting in November.  If you have not picked yours up yet, please make sure to do it this week.  When you have finished listening to the tape, please return it to the office along with your feedback form.    

LABELS FOR EDUCATION:  We need a parent who can oversee the Campbell's "Labels for Education" program.  This would involve prepping and mailing the labels.  We have been blessed with an overabundance of labels and need to have someone oversee this program right away.  Please call the school office if you can help.

THANK YOU!  The staff of NCCC/NCCS was blessed with a fantastic lunch prepared by the senior parents.  Thank you to all who blessed us with your time and wonderful food.

NCCS WARRIORWEAR:  The senior class will be selling NCCS sweatshirts, t-shirts, and knit caps.  Profits from the sale will benefit the senior class mission trip in May 2008. Orders turned in by 3:00pm on Friday, December 7th will be delivered before Christmas break.   Samples are available to view at the school office.  The red/gray hoodie will not be available in youth sizes, but is still available for adult sizes.  Instead a plain gray hoodie has been added for in both youth and adult sizes.  Please see the attachment for more information.

SCHOOL SPELLING BEE:  The NCCS Spelling Bee will be held in the Sanctuary for grades K-6 at 1:30pm on Friday, December 7th and for grades 7/8 at 9:00am on Monday, December 10th.  The winner from each class will go on to represent NCCS at the District Spelling Bee in Oakland on January 25th.  Parents are welcome to attend and observe.  We are also in need of three parents who will be judges at the ACSI Spelling Bee in Oakland.  Our school is required to provide five judges in order to be able to participate.  Many of the judging positions are simple, such as keeping time or keeping track of rounds.  Please consider helping our school out in this way.  We must mail our entries in by December 12th, so I do need a quick response to this request.  Please call June Castonguay at home or school if you have further questions or if you would like to volunteer.  

LET THE SENIOR CLASS WRAP YOUR GIFTS!  The senior class will be wrapping gifts during the Elementary Christmas Program on Friday, December 14th.  Gift wrapping will take place from 6:00pm - 9:00pm.  Bring your unwrapped, boxed gifts before the program and pick up the wrapped gifts after.  The Seniors will supply the gift wrap.  All donations the senior class receives from gift wrapping will go to support their mission trip in May 2008.  

CHRISTMAS WREATH SALE/DECORATED TREE AUCTION:  The senior class is selling decorated artificial Christmas wreaths.  The wreaths will be on display across from the school office beginning December 3rd.  The price is $18.00, and the wreaths will be available for sale at the school office or during the Elementary Christmas Program on December 14th.  If you will be buying the wreath from the school office please pay with the exact cash or with a check.

For the price of a $5.00 ticket (or 2 tickets for $8.00), you have the opportunity to win a beautifully decorated (including lights) 7' artificial Christmas tree.  The senior class will begin selling the tickets Monday, December 3rd and continue selling them until the tree is auctioned off during the Elementary Christmas Program on Friday, December 14th (you do not need to be present at the program to win).  Please see any senior or stop in the school office to purchase your tickets.  

ATTENDANCE/TARDY REMINDER:  Parents, you must notify the school office no later than 8:30am if your student will be late to school or will be absent for the day.  Please do not just give the information to your child's teacher; teachers are not responsible for relaying attendance information to the school office.  Any K-12th grade student who arrives at school after 8:30am must sign in at the office before going to class.  Thank you for your cooperation.

COLD WEATHER REMINDER:  Elementary students will go outside for recess as long as the temperature does not go lower than 5 degrees (including windchill).  Please make sure elementary students are dressed appropriately for outside recess and have hats, mittens or gloves, snow pants, and boots.  Students without boots and snow pants must stay on the pavement if there is snow on the ground.   

TAP:  There are only TWO (2) weeks left to order for Christmas!  Plan ahead; the last TAP order date before Christmas will be Wednesday, December 12, 2007, for pick up on Wednesday, December 19, 2007.  Anything ordered on December 19, 2007, will be available for pick up on Wednesday, January 9, 2008.     

WARRIOR WEEKLY SUBMISSIONS:  Submissions for the Warrior Weekly must be given to Mrs. Sochay by 10:00am this Friday in order to be considered for the next issue.  Submissions may be emailed or turned in to the school office on disk or thumb drive.  Submissions must be approved and may be edited.  

INFORMATION FOR UPCOMING CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS

GENERAL INFORMATION:  Both the December 7th and December 14th programs begin at 7:00pm.  Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Gillengerten have graciously offered to host our Afterglow receptions on December 7th and 14th. Please contact them if you would like to help.  If your child is involved in Band, Choir, or Elementary Music, please plan to bring cookies or other easy-to-serve snacks for the Afterglow. 

Miss Wilson is still looking for a few parents to assist in our K-2 Christmas Program by helping to assign and distribute costumes. We have many well-organized costumes, so this should not be a difficult task. Miss Wilson is also looking for standing or reclining cows from 2-3 feet tall.  

ARRIVAL TIMES:  For the December 7th program, all 5th/6th grade band students need to be in Mrs. Allen's classroom by 6:30pm wearing your Sunday best.  Concert band needs to be in Mrs. Feldpausch's room with their instrument and ready to warm up by 6:20pm wearing standard NCCS concert attire.  For the December 14th program, all elementary students need to be in their classroom by 6:30pm.  

CONCERT BAND INFORMATION:  The NCCS Concert Band (grades 7-12) has been selected to perform on WLNS's "A Mid-Michigan Holiday." Our taping is Friday, December 7th at 1:00pm at the Charlotte Performing Arts Center. We are planning to take a bus, but we would love to have parents go along. Permission slips will be given to those students involved on Monday, December 3rd.  Keep reading the Warrior Weekly to find out when this program will air.
