FUN NET Retreat Team Needs Nashua Catholic Host Families for just 3 nights!
We are looking for a few families that would be willing to host 2 or 3 members of the team overnight on October 31, November 1, and November 2. They would need to be picked up at Nashua Catholic after school on these days, when you pick up your children. You would also be providing them with dinner on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and breakfast on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, before you return them to NC on those mornings.
Last year’s host families said that it was such a nice experience for them to have a chance to get to know these exceptional young adults. Click here for more information.

Hoops for Hearts Basketball Tournament
Each year Nashua Catholic hosts a weekend-long charity basketball tournament as a kickoff to the winter basketball season. This tournament goes a long way toward providing for families who are in need during the holidays. We are looking to enter at least one boys' and at least one girls' basketball team of our own to play in this tournament starting on Friday, November 4. These teams are open to any NC student, regardless of experience or skill level. This has no impact on basketball tryouts. If your son or daughter is interested in playing, please have them keep an eye out during lunches for the sign-up sheets that will be passed around. If you have questions, contact Mr. Farris at rfarris@ncrjhs.net.
