Dear all NWCS fellow members;
Dear all Parents and Teachers;
Fall came earlier this year after this week’s “hot” days in the Great Seattle Areas. The immediate impact of this was the talk of returning to school. Judging from the phone calls I got from a few parents, I can imagine the excitement and energy associated with looking forward to the school year ahead. Let’s go all out to prepare for it, hoping that NWCS’s enrollments grow steadily as expected. Thank you all very much for all your supports during the past years and in the future as well.
