Spanish Club a Huge Success
With the help of parent volunteers and our older Club members, our Spanish Club has become extremely popular. The Spanish Club introduces the Spanish language to members while also familiarizing them more with Latin American culture. It has also been helpful for our members whose primary language is Spanish, aiding in their learning of English. The Club meets twice a week, Wednesday's and Friday's at 4:00pm in the Learning Center.

Fall Sports Season Opens Strong
The fall sports season has started off with a bang. On September 18th the NBGC travel football team opened its season against cross island rival Martha's Vineyard. After falling behind 14-8 in the first half the NBGC dominated the second, finishing with a 36-14 victory. In the second game of the season the NBGC traveled to Mashpee. This turned into a track meet with the NBGC coming up just short, 46-42.
With high numbers and competitive games in both the DII and DIII football divisions along with record breaking numbers of girls participating in field hockey and cheerleading, the 2013 fall sports season has been great so far!
Thank you to all of our volunteer coaches and referees!
