Mark you calendars for Sunday, Oct. 21, from 2-4 p.m., when every NPS school will be open for what we are calling NPS Community Open House.

and Dave Landez of the department as its

Employee of the Year.
 
    

Wanted: Partners in Education

Are you a member of the Norman Chamber of Commerce and want to explore the possibility of your business partnering with a NPS school? Of building a partnership with a school that doesn't have to be about dollars and cents but more about your employees' time and talents?
