Message from Mr. Imbusch

Dear students, staff, and parents/guardians:

This morning, our staff was treated to breakfast treats from Country Kitchen, gluten free goodies from Twist Bakery, and an assortment of coffee-tea-cocoa that was sponsored by the Parent Advisory Council (PAC). I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our parents, and especially those who hold leadership positions in the PAC, for this very generous gift. It is much appreciated by all our staff.

Our students are working hard here at school, and many are actively participating in our sports and clubs. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the various sporting and extra-curricular events over the next couple of weeks.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Stephen Imbusch

Coat Drive

NHS is holding a coat drive and we are looking for adult and children-size warm winter coats. We aim to collect 75 warm winter coats to provide to individuals and families in need. Coats are cleaned by Anton’s Cleaners and made available to a network of over 90 distribution partners made up of local nonprofits, social service agencies, and schools to ensure the coats are given to those who really need them free of charge. If there are any unused coats that could be donated we would really appreciate it! There is a collection box in the main lobby.
