NAVIGATOR BIRTHDAY BLESSINGS
Fundraiser and Gift in One
NPCA is proud to offer Navigator Birthday Blessings this year in support of student activities and scholarships. Families will have the opportunity to purchase your student(s) or staff member(s) a "blessing" to celebrate their past, present, or future birthday!
Birthday Blessings are $10.00 each. They will be delivered in a gift bag with a ribbon, personalized message, and a mini mylar balloon (random design). The gift bag will include your choice of a salty treat, a sweet treat, and a beverage.
Student(s) and/or staff member(s) will receive their Birthday Blessing during the day on the date of your choosing, but they will not be able to consume the treats until after school.
LUNCH VISITORS
Every third and fourth Thursday are unavailable due to conflict with the cafeteria space. Adults must first check-in and receive a visitor's badge. NPCA is a peanut-free campus. 2nd, 3rd, and 6th grades are also nut-free. Visitors are expected to adhere to NPCA's guidelines for appropriate behavior, language, and modesty dress code.
