Dear NCA Families,
It was excellent to see our families attend the 9th-12th grade Poetry & Prose event on Thursday, as well as the 5th & 8th grade families for our Transition Night event on Thursday evening. Thank you to our upper school families for attending both events. We are now just 6 weeks away from the conclusion of this academic year – hard to believe, I know.
I have only a few updates for you this week, and please review the events calendar carefully – so that your family does not miss an event!

Virtue of the Month: Honesty
“I will speak the truth and act truthfully with others and myself.”
Please continue to read the remainder of this newsletter, as there are many informational items that relate to your scholar and family. We hope that your family has a great weekend, and we look forward to welcoming your scholar back to campus on Monday.
