'Sur-PRIZE' - It's Breakfast Time! Beginning Monday, November 28th; all Elementary schools, Middle school, and NCHigh School will begin our 'Sur-PRIZE' - It's Breakfast Time! marketing campaign! This is to remind students and parents that Breakfast Meals are free for ALL students! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It provides the energy and nutrients for your 'get up & go', and gets their bodies and brains working! Every day each cafeteria will have breakfast bags or trays that will have a ticket. There will be 4 to 5 tickets given out per day. The lucky ticket finders need to bring the ticket to the cafeteria and they will get a chance to pick something from our prize boxes. Good luck to all of you and hope to see you at breakfast!

Wishing our N-CCS staff, students, and families a Happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for all of you! Send pictures of Thanksgiving gatherings and activities to social.media@n-ccs.org. By sending your pictures, you are giving N-CCS permission to post. #groundedandgrowing

N-CHS - CTE construction program collaborates with DSS Senior Sevices to support seniors with necessary home repairs for access and safety. This home needed a small ramp for handicapped access. The homeowner purchased the materials and N-CHS students completed the build. In situations where the homeowner cannot purchase necessary building materials, N-CHS is a building partner of Habitat for Humanity's home repair program funded by the United Way. The home repair program can help provide the materials for the student build. This collaboration creates access and safety for our seniors while our high school students practice a skilled trade through community service. #groundedandgrowing #livingunited #828isgreat #serve #collaboration #community
