Thank You Elementary PTO Board Members!

On Friday, December 3 our compatriots over at the Elementary Campus hosted our annual joint PTO Christmas party. Thank you, fellow PTOers! We had a lovely time in your delightful company. The food was delicious and we enjoyed our morning of fellowship.  Special thanks to Sherry Ingram for having us in her beautiful home. And, thanks to Laura Lane and Northland's own Select 16. Our hearts were filled with Christmas spirit and cheer as they sang traditional carols and holiday favorites. What a wonderfully talented group of students we have here at Northland. It was a special treat to watch them perform. Thank you, Elementary PTO for making it all happen!
Have you got a green thumb?

A brown thumb?  Or maybe you're all thumbs. . . it doesn't really matter, just bring your thumbs and volunteer today! 

Newly planted, holiday inspired, flowers adorn our main entrance and need to be watered until they are established in the soil. If you have time to do a little watering call Lynn Faulkner, Facility Improvement Chairman, at 281-701-1603, and volunteer.  Students receive service hours for time spent working with this committee. Green thumbs, brown thumbs, all thumbs! It's easy! It's fun! It's therapeutic! So, stop by today and take some time to "smell the roses!"

NCS Families Show Your
Christmas Gift Giving Spirit!


Christmas is just around the corner and your Northland Christian PTO has the perfect way to make Secondary Teacher gift shopping simple and worry free. Contribute to the very popular and greatly appreciated "Teacher/Staff Christmas Fund." Committee Co-chairs, Lisa Murphy and Kim Pope, will collect your donations and divide the funds equally among our teachers and staff on the Secondary Campus. You may donate online or drop off your contribution with the receptionist in Building 1. Questions? Call Lisa at 281-580-7730 or Kim at 281-807-7688. Last day to contribute is December 9.


Order Your SCRIP Cards for Christmas Giving or Shopping by December 10!

Whether you need a gift card to give or just want to use it to make your holiday gift purchases, simply turn in your SCRIPs order form to your school campus main office by noon on December 10.  Your gift cards will be available for pick up on or before December 17.

There are two ways to order:

Option #1 (Preferred) Establish a family account online (www.shopwithscrip.com - enrollment code: 3E31CDLD16424) and place your order. Print out the order confirmation page and send it to the main office at school with your (check) payment. If you are submitting orders for others, you may place them separately under your name. Orders will be sorted after they are delivered, prior to being picked up and you won't have to separate them later. For example:

(Order 1) Placed in your name for your family - go all the way through to checkout and print out order confirmation page, submit to school with payment.

(Order 2) Placed in your name for your mom - go all the way through to checkout and print out order confirmation page, submit to school with payment.

(Order 3) Placed in your name for your sister - go all the way through to checkout and print out order confirmation page, submit to school with payment.
 
Presto Pay can be set up if you prefer for the payment to be withdrawn directly from your checking or savings account rather than paying with a check. A $.39 service charge is added to each order paid through Presto Pay.
If paying by check, make checks payable to: NCS
 
Option #2. Pick up an order form from the office of either school campus. Complete the form and turn in your paper order and check payment to the main office at school. 

No matter what option you choose, your gift card order(s) will be mailed to the school. A volunteer will sort the orders and notify you when it is available for you to pick up.

Questions? Contact Brenda Fry, PTO SCRIPs Card coordinator and volunteer, at brendakfry@yahoo.com
