A Note from Mrs. Spear, 8th Grade Math
Thank you all for such a warm welcome to Nashua Catholic! I am so grateful to have joined such a kind and faith-filled community, and already feel right at home. I am especially excited to start up the Mathcounts club again (I was a participant once upon a time!) and will be sending out more information soon. If you are interested in problem-solving or just exercising your math muscles, we would love to have you join us!
Sincerely,
Patricia Spear

A note from Mrs. McFadden -
Date to be an International Student Host Extended to Monday!
I am very excited to announce that Nashua Catholic will be participating with USA Top Education this October for an 8 day international student visit program. Chinese students will come to Nashua Catholic and other diocesan schools, to foster a cultural exchange with Catholic students. These students will then be able to apply as international students to one of these schools for the 2019-2020 school year.
Would you consider being a host family for 8 days starting October 1st for 1 or 2 students from China? Opening your home to these students would have a life changing impact on both the international and NC students, and will create lifelong friendships. Each host family will receive a $250 per child stipend to cover expenses.
Please click for more information
HERE
.
If you are interested in joining me by hosting 1-2 students, please contact my administrative assistant, Mrs. Suzanne Coker at
scoker@ncrjhs.net
or call the school and ask for Mrs. Coker, 882-7011. The date for requests to host has been extended to Monday, September 17, 2018.
