I look forward to seeing you at the Noodles with NWCS Knights spaghetti dinner tomorrow night at the Upper
Campus. Dinner is served from 6:00 - 7:00PM with a special program and dessert from 7:00 - 7:30PM. You can
still send in your registration and money tomorrow or buy tickets at the door.
The Peanut Butter Drive has begun! The peanut butter donation box is in the school office – let’s fill it to the
top! We are having lots of fun collecting peanut butter and dressing in Wacky Hats and Socks today!
Remember to look at the blue Catholic Schools Week calendar for all the dress different days and exciting
activities we have planned over this next week!
