Raise Craze

Raise Craze is the yearly fundraiser that PTF hosts. The money raised is used for setting up classrooms, Christmas bonuses for teachers, Field Day, the Lion Games, and many other extras. Raise Craze was founded by parents looking for an alternative to the traditional school & team fundraiser. How could we turn the dreaded fundraiser into a force for positive change? By spreading KINDNESS! Here is how it works.

Our goal this year is to raise $20,000! Sign up here. The code to join us 508-905.

STEM Club

The NCA STEM club will meet on October 20 at 3:40pm in room 125. We will continue to learn about rocketry and work on our rockets. Don't worry if you are new, we have a rocket for you to build too! The club meeting will conclude at 5:30. There is a one-time $25 fee for materials used through December." A new fee will be issued in January for the projects planned for next semester. For more info, contact Mr. Sweatt.

Candy Wars

Get ready for Candy Wars, October 15-23, as we prep for our upcoming Fall Fest! Students may bring bags of individually wrapped candy, which will be weighed and tracked as a percentage by class.
