November 9-13

November seems like a short month at school. All of a sudden we are in a new sports season, the annual community Thanksgiving Feast is next week, and the trimester ends the week after the 11/25-27 Thanksgiving break.  (Don't blink!)

Here are some things to be aware of this week:

• Basketball season has arrived.  The first junior high basketball home games are today!  Girls play first at 3:45, followed by the boys game at about 5 pm. If you love basketball (or NCS), we hope you'll come and cheer for our team players. Today's game is at home v. Wiscasset.
  
  Be sure to check our web page regularly for game information during the basketball season.  If there are changes, we put the info on the web page asap.
• NPTO (Nobleboro Parent-Teacher Organization) will meet in the library on Tuesday, November 10 at 6pm.  Parents welcome!
• NO SCHOOL this Wednesday, November 11 in observance of Veterans Day.
• K-4 parents are reminded that you are invited to the Thanksgiving Feast.   We need to hear from you by Friday, November 13.   If you have not had a chance to respond yet, here's the link:   Annual Thanksgiving Feast INFO/INVITE/RSVP  Older students will take part in the feast too.  If you would like to contribute, please sign up for a dessert or beverage donation.
   
• We will accept nonperishable donations for the local food pantry on November 20th. If you prefer to make a financial gift, look for the jar in the lobby.   

Speaking of food, there will be a change to next week's lunch menu:  Monday=ziti with garlic butter sauce; Tuesday=chicken burgers; Wednesday=Brunch for lunch; Thursday=hot dogs; and Friday=a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
