The Grizzlies had a bit of a slow start, succumbing to some nerves against high pressure from Duchess Park.
Sr Alt has been working hard making Valentine’s cards and cookies for our Valentines for Seniors project. With NPSS closed yesterday, we had to ask for help; Leigh Anne baked us some cookies to add to the ones already baked in Mark’s class and we were able to borrow space at Robert Ogilvie to finish decorating.
Writer and musician Brendan McLeod visited NPSS today to perform a monologue about struggles with obsessions, mental health, and friendships. Students wishing to find out more about the topics discussed in the presentation can visit the counselling office.

Please have a conversation with your son and/or daughter to ensure that these products are not being brought to school.

Sr. Alt has raised over two thousand dollars in our fundraising efforts so far this year. Â We have used a portion of this money to purchase food and gifts to sponsor a family at Christmas through Phoenix Volunteers.
