Students are invited to wear their NBCS apparel with jeans to school on Friday!

Educational Grant Deadline
Parents, please check your email for information from the NBCS leadership regarding Spring Educational Grants. We are asking for applications for financial aid to be turned in by Monday, November 16. The School Board is currently looking for ways to raise funds for our Educational Grant Fund and will let families know as soon as funds are available and the amount they will receive.

If you would like to donate money to this fund, that would be a great blessing! Please indicate the check or money that you give is for the educational grant fund.

Snow Day Communication
It is the beginning of November and we have already had a "snow" day! As a reminder, if school is delayed or canceled due to weather, we will primarily communicate through a school-wide email, Facebook post, and posting on KWCH. Your teachers may also text you the news, but please check email, Facebook, or KWCH if there is inclement weather. Thank you!

New Basketball Opportunity!
We are thankful for the opportunity NBCS boys have to join the Panther (Newton homeschool) basketball team this season. Since we have a limited number of older boys, we are excited to partner with the Panther boys! We are looking forward to cheering on this tearm in the months to come!

We are excited to share in a Thanksgiving Feast together on Thursday, November 19. We hope lots of Pilgrims and Indians joins us for the feast!

Portrait Time for Newton Bible Christian School:

GS Memorymaker is proud to offer our "Simplicity" collection.

Clean lines, minimal props, and of course many choices for your selection.

Again, we will offer you a chance to see your images prior to making any buying commitment.

We are excited to feature a "contactless ordering system" where you may View, Choose, and Purchase all from your computer or mobile device!

Additionally, all orders will be sent directly to your home.

Covid 19 Precations:
We promise to follow the CDC procedures with the following measures:
•Masks will be used while on location with student portraits.
•Social distancing will be enforced to reduce contact.
•Posing and assistance on-site will be provided by teachers, assistants, or location staff.
•Posing surfaces will be cleaned between sessions to reduce contact.

We are compiling testimonies from those who have been impacted by the ministry of NBCS in order to share with our community the value of Christian education.

If you are a parent, grandparent or student, past or present of NBCS, would you be willing to answer one of the following questions?

How has NBCS affected your life or the life of your child?
Why is it worth it to you to pay the cost for Christian Education?
Why should others consider sending their children to NBCS?

Please include your first name, connection to the school (former parent, student, etc.), and current job title in your answer and email your response to nbcs@newtonbible.org.

Thank you for your support of Newton Bible Christian School!
