Dear NCHS Families,
Welcome to the 2019/20 school year! The start of school is right around the corner and the PFA and the Administration have been hard at work getting ready for the new school year. The PFA's mission is to continue to enrich and support the school community by providing information and resources to parents and students. We have two August events for our newest community members: New to New Canaan Orientation and Freshman Walk-Through. Please find details about these events at the end of this email. We encourage you to take advantage of all the opportunities to get involved at the High School and with the PFA.
THE FUTURE BEGINS HERE
This year the PFA is excited to launch a new fundraising campaign,
The Future Begins Here, to support academic and extracurricular programs and school-wide enhancements. We are asking that each family share in the goal of supporting our school by participating in our no-gimmick fundraising campaign with a
$100 minimum suggested donation. This donation is in addition to the PFA membership of
$50, which includes the directory.
In addition to continuing to provide teacher grants and student program and activity support, our sights are set on improving the students' dining area. High school is stressful. The dining space is where our students not only gather to eat lunch, but also to do homework, collaborate on projects, and build community with each other. We would like to raise money to make this space a more friendly, welcoming, and inclusive environment to improve each student's experience at our school. Not only will this be an improved dining space, but also a great hang-out space where students can work and recharge between classes. Please be a part of this campaign and give generously.
You can find additional information to get ready for the school year at
NCHS website, where you can view the school calendar, the 8 day class schedule and all of the announcements and links you may need.
The
PFA website has our PFA calendar, our monthly newsletter, the Ram-o-gram, and details about future PFA events such as general meetings and grade level networking meetings. Please familiarize yourself with the wealth of information available.
Your support is vital to our success!
