Good Afternoon NTHS Families,

This week, we hosted our two-night Fine Arts and CTS Winter Showcase. The showcase featured a beautiful gallery display from our Art classes, pottery club, global languages, and CTS courses, as well as performances from our concert band, choir, jazz band, drama class, spoken word poetry and directing projects, scenes from our Alice in Wonderland production, student choreographed pieces from dance class, dance team performances, and film classes. We saw over 300 guests between the two nights who came out to celebrate the incredible learning and growth that has been happening in our programs throughout the semester.  

We only have one week left of school before the winter break. There are a number of significant events happening within the community, during this time of year.
