Our Saints showed up in a BIG way! Thanks to the generosity of our school community, we collected over 700 pairs of shoes for our NJHS Shoe Drive! 🎉
These donations will greatly benefit Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada and help those in need throughout our community.
Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make this drive such an amazing success. Way to go, Saints! 💙

During the week of September 14th, Terra Nova testing will be administered to students in Grades 2 through 8. Taking tests can be hard work – requiring lots of energy. We recommend that students get plenty of rest and eat a nourishing breakfast and lunch on test days. Please be sure to have your children arrive at school on time. In addition, we would ask you to schedule routine doctor/dentist appointments away from next week. Please note: homework assignments will be minimal during test week. Most importantly, don`t forget to ask your child(ren) about the testing each day. Thank you!
