Dear North Phoenix Parents,
We would like to thank our North Phoenix community for their outstanding contributions for this year’s Great Hearts Gala on Saturday, September 28, 2019 at Chateau Luxe.
This year in particular, the Great Hearts Gala includes a large emphasis on our North Phoenix community:
· Jamie and Gregg Davis, North Phoenix parents, are representing our school community by serving on the 2019 Gala Committee. Through their leadership and their own personal sponsorship, the Gala committee has already raised over $250,000 for our teachers.
· One of our very own North Phoenix students, 6
th
grader Raina Drewek, will be performing at the Gala. Raina was the runner up of the BARD Competition last spring and will recite a piece by Maya Angelou during the dinner program.
· Our beloved music teacher, Mr. Joseph Mann, will be playing the piano during the hosted cocktail reception at the Gala.
· And many other silent auction items, donations and participation from our North Phoenix parents!
The Gala is our largest network-wide fundraising event for all 21 academies in the Great Hearts community. The Gala has raised over $450,000 each year for the past three years. This year, Gala proceeds will benefit the Teacher Excellence Fund--- which will offer bonus compensation directly to our teachers this December.
The
Wrinkle in Time
themed evening will be a wonderful celebration with hosted cocktail hour, dinner and dancing on the patio, and an incredible program featuring students and teachers from around the network. We encourage you to join us!
Please reach out to Jamie Davis at 602-703-5263 or jamedavis@hotmail.com, or visit

With gratitude,

Lacrosse Information
Hello Great Hearts parents,
Welcome to the 2019-20 school year. We hope your first few weeks have gone well and you’re ready for an exciting and eventful year ahead.
Great Hearts Academies continually evaluates the offerings available to our students, to provide the richest student experience for the soul, heart and mind.
One of the activities we are considering is the formation of lacrosse teams, for boys and girls, within the Great Hearts network. We are in the preliminary stages, but have had enlightening discussions among students, staff, faculty, administration and parents. Many of our students currently enjoy and excel in lacrosse at the recreational, club travel and interscholastic levels.
This team will be parent-led and not associated with the schools. The season for lacrosse in Arizona is in the Spring and we will be sharing preseason trainings and clinics to get ready for the season.
The next step in the process is to learn who among our current Great Hearts families have students who play lacrosse and which students would have interest in taking up the sport should there be an extra-curricular lacrosse offering at Great Hearts.
Below are some recent news stories about lacrosse in Arizona and thank you for your consideration.

Atlas Internship Program
Dear NPX Parents,
We are thrilled to introduce you to an entirely student-developed program on our campus, NPX Atlas. Atlas was the Greek titan who held up the heavens so that the world might develop freely. It is our intention to similarly support all high-school students in their exploration of new paths and opportunities, which will ultimately help them find direction in their future endeavors.
As juniors, Gladiators begin College 101, in which they are asked to ponder their future career paths. Secondary sources on this topic often contain no more than a basic job description and data on salary and employment rates, which is minimally useful for a thorough understanding of the demands and rewards of an actual career. It can be difficult to find opportunities to explore a variety of careers and professions available in the modern world. This club is an attempt to remedy that difficulty and to expand the horizons of NPX students, help them to discover their vocations, and develop practical and relevant professional skills. In order to make this process easier, we would like to launch a program that will provide all high-school students with internship and job-shadowing opportunities. This hands-on career exploration will not only provide insights into potential vocations, it will also provide meaningful, real-world experience that can serve as a foundation for future success.
To launch this program, we need to develop a list of employers willing to host a student for shadowing, research assistant positions, mentorships, or general internship experiences. We can compile the list and connect students to opportunities, but we need YOUR help to identify the opportunities. What better way to help our students become the leaders of the next generation than to have them learn from the leaders of this one. Therefore, it would be a great help to us if you would consider inviting a student to shadow or intern with you or if you would reach out to your various connections on our behalf.
The program is structured so that students can both focus on school and discover their path at the same time. We want to give students time for internships after school, on weekends, or during fall, winter, and spring break; however, we do not want this program to interfere with school hours. We would really appreciate it if any opportunities that were provided were kept separate from school hours.
If you or any of your professional contacts are interested in partnering with this cause, please fill out the form at the following link:
Should you have any questions or ideas about this program, please contact us via email at:
We appreciate your help and support in making this program possible!
Sincerely,
The NPX Atlas Founders
Faizan Mistry, Brian Martins, and Dr. Joseph A. Mann
