Hey NCCS! It's that time of year! We are getting closer to the last week of the semester, which means we are closer to Christmas break and we want to celebrate the Christmas spirit and all of the hard work our students have been putting into the semester. So next week, Dec. 16th-20th is our Countdown to Christmas Spirit Week. Each day there will be a different dress-down theme or activity. Click this link for all of the details: https://5il.co/32x1r Remember to keep in mind our dress code guidelines even on dress-down days - No holes in pants, no yoga pants/form-fitting pants, skirts must be knee-length, and Crocs ONLY on the day specified. If in doubt, remember neatness and modesty. Thank you! We are looking forward to a fun week of counting down to Christmas break!
