Casual for a Cause
Nashua Catholic will participate in a diocesan wide fund raising event called
Casual for a Cause
on Friday June 1
. This is a paid out of uniform day for students, teachers and staff
to benefit CMC’s Books for Babies initiative
. Books for Babies will help purchase books that the hospital distributes to moms who deliver at CMC to encourage bonding and literacy. This is especially useful in the Special Care Nursery which is designed to be exceptionally sensitive to infants who need extra care. Our goal at Nashua Catholic is to raise
$500 for this cause.
All students are asked to pay a minimum of $2.00 and adults $3.00 to participate in this event.

Textbooks - Dust Collectors or CASH!
eTECHCampus will not be coming to Nashua Catholic for a textbook buyback this June. We are ineligible for this service due to our low volume. It is very important that we encourage our families to sell, especially, Their used, hardcover textbooks, specifically from Literature, back to eTech, to insure other NC families have a large selection of used books. Emptying your closets of any textbooks early in the summer, June 1-July 1, gives you the
best pricing
. Quotes are easily found on the eTech site with the most valuable books being those used by NC in the 2018-2019 school year. Paperback workbooks are not eligible for sale. Checks are sent directly to your home. How easy it is to turn dust collectors into cash! At any time you can check pricing on your used books and download FREE shipping labels from the
eTECHCampus.com
web site to sell your books back. It benefits many to resell your used textbooks in June! Thank you!
You may purchase
your student's textbooks at
ncrjhs.etechcampus.com
starting June 15th. Your student's course numbers will be sent to you soon. These course numbers are to be used to locate required purchases. Once on the site, your student's course numbers are used to find the required purchases for each class. We encourage you to order by early August for the best selection and quickest delivery. Our Nashua Catholic
web site has next year's textbook list
. ALWAYS purchase books according to their ISBN.
Please remember to
order your books early. Students must have textbooks by the first week of school to start the year off strong.
Parents, Please Note: eTECHCampus always buys back the textbooks that we are using next year at Nashua Catholic. They also buy other text books. You can check the ISBN's from other school's textbooks on their website.
