Dear Ricardo,
Welcome Back! School is in full swing and we are glad
you are back with us or are joining the community for
the first time. Take a look at what's been happening
this month and what's in store this year.
There are many opportunities to stay
involved at NCHS. You can attend Theatre Nolan's
productions, pray for the school with Moms in Touch,
watch your favorite NCHS sports team, keep up with
your student's academic progress through EDLINE,
etc. Your involvement cinches the community's
success.
Do you know of a new family here at NCHS? Forward
them this e-mail so they too can be prepared and
informed of the school stories you already enjoy!

Uniform Reminder
~ Please be aware that the
grey box-pleated skirt for girls and the grey slacks for
boys are MANDATORY
pieces of the uniform.
THEY ARE NOT OPTIONAL. We sent a letter home
explaining this last Spring and even said that if there
was financial difficulty, please call the Deans' Office
and we would help by paying for that one item.
At our next liturgy, students not in
compliance with the grey skirts and white blouses or
the grey slacks and white shirts with tie will be sent
home for the day and fined by the deans' office.
Students will also receive zeroes for all work done or
handed in on that day.
We ask for and appreciate everyone's
cooperation.
Thank you for understanding.
~ The Deans' Office

L.I.F.E. Camp: A Living In Faith Experience | By
Brittany Landrum ~ On July 28th at seven in the
morning, Twelve Nolan Catholic students boarded the
little white school bus and set out on an adventure
to TECABOCA. Other students from Florida, Nebraska,
Missouri and Texas also gathered at TECABOCA
(Texas Catholic Boys Camp) in Mountain Home, Texas
to spend 9 days at LIFE Camp building Christian
community.
The theme of this year's LIFE Camp
was "live free." We learned that we must take risks,
be courageous, and accept our failures to live free;
people who risk nothing, do nothing, are nothing.
Freedom is not doing anything and everything
whenever or wherever one pleases. True freedom is
found in seeking God's will and living the gospel.

Theatre Nolan
~ The cast of the Theatre
Nolan Production of William Inge's "Picnic" has been
posted!
Bomber: Adam Ryckaert
Alan: Eric Ryckaert
Madge: Ashlea Edwards
Millie: Alex Aue
Flo: Amelia Camperlengo
Rosemary: Danielle Musch
Hal: Tyler Ferguson
Howard: Aaron Gwaltney
Christine: Cynthia Dorado
Helen: Mary Sexton
Irma: Sally Cocijn
Picnic is set in Kansas on a Labor Day weekend. The
lives of two households - one composed of a mother,
her two teenage daughters and an unmarried school
teacher lodger, and their next-door neighbors, a
mother and her invalid daughter - are dramatically
changed after their encounter with a young male
visitor.
The show is directed by Abby Rosenthal and opens
Oct. 1 and 2 as well as Oct. 7 and 9 at 7:00 p.m.
in the Auditorium. The cost is $3 for students and $5
for adults.
Choral Cluster ~ The NCHS Choral Program is
growing so fast that we now have a Varsity Chorale
and a Junior Varsity Chorale. Between the two choirs
76 students are involved. You can hear all
of them together at the Opening Day Football game
(Sept. 3) where they will be singing the National
Anthem accompanied by the Band. Choir members
will soon be participating in All-Region and All-State
Choir competitions. Wish them luck!
Pocket Drives Now Available ~ Students that
use the computers at school (library or computer lab)
are urged to use
mini
portable USB drives instead of
floppy disks to save their work. This will minimize the
problems we have with disks getting stuck in the
floppy drives. One would most likely hold all of a
student's work for the entire year. We now have
them available in the computer lab for $17.
