Principal's Pen
|
Welcome to spring! Our athletes are eager to get on the fields and our club members are busy planning their traditional NC events. Before we know it, we will be watching our 8th grade students walk down the aisle at graduation! I also cannot believe that Holy Week is next week! These Lenten days have flown by too.
Speaking of flying by, it is not too late to take advantage of our "Complete 180" incentives. Our NC goal is to have 180 students in the seats by September and you can help by asking families of rising 7th and 8th grade students to come visit our school. If one of these students do register, you and the new family each receive $250! Invite parents and their students to the Tea and Tours on Friday, April 7 at 12:30 pm or to the informal general information session on Sunday, May 21, 12-2 pm! Moreover, encourage friends, co-workers, neighbors, or family members to stop by for a tour anytime!
The NC musical, Legally Blonde Jr., is this Friday and Saturday night at 7 pm. It is going to be fantastic! You don't want to miss it! Our students have worked so diligently, please support them if you can. And guess what? My dog, Lucy is playing the part of Bruiser Woods! She will gladly do "paw" autographs, especially if you offer her a dog biscuit!
There will be no after school activities or extended day services on Holy Thursday next week. This is a beautiful tradition of Nashua Catholic and I encourage our families to take this time to prepare for the most sacred time of our Church year, the Triduum. There is no school on Holy Friday so our students and their families can take part in the rich and profound rituals of the Triduum and Easter Sunday. May God's light guide you on your Triduum path and may his love grace your heart. Rejoice on Sunday for we are Easter people who live in the hope of the Resurrection!
In Christ,
Mrs. McFadden

NC's Annual Golf Tournament
Golfers, volunteers, and sponsors, come on down!
|
|
|
 Mark your calendars and save the date for Nashua Catholic's Annual Golf Tournament, which
will be held on Tuesday, August 1, 2017, at the Amherst Country Club.
Golfers: Be part of a terrific day of golfing and fun! By golfing in the NC Tournament, you get
to meet new people and visit with friends, have the chance to win terrific prizes, and take the
opportunity to support our students and teachers at Nashua Catholic. This is a "best ball"
scramble, so experience with golf clubs is not needed--just the desire to have a good time.
The tournament is open to everyone, students included, as long as they are accompanied by
an adult. We are looking for foursomes and single players. Our flyer and registration sheet
will be available in the next newsletter.
We ask your consideration and outreach to find the best coaches and advisers for our students at Nashua Catholic.
