 A yellow and white flyer for the NCPS Student Services Food Drive. The title, "FOOD DRIVE," is in large black letters, with the text "DONATIONS NEEDED!" below it. The graphic features a silhouette of several people raising their arms behind a large stack of various colorful non-perishable food cans and boxes. The flyer announces the drive for "FALL 2025" with an IN-SCHOOL DROP OFF at KES, OES, NMS & NHS. It specifies the last day to donate is Nov. 12th and notes that 5 Food Items = 1 HR of High School Community Service. The bottom of the flyer says, "Your Donations Matter, Thank You!"

🎉Congratulations to Maria for taking third place at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Fair earlier this month!

Students had to create a poster that celebrated the faces of agriculture and aquaculture, and Maria's work beat out hundreds of entries from middle schools and home schools throughout Northampton and Accomack counties. Maria made great use of the iterative design process that the students are learning in Computer Solutions class as she created the poster, and clearly succeeded in achieving the project goal.

We are so proud - congratulations, Maria!!

As National School Bus Safety Week wraps up, we want to thank our community and drivers for their focus on safety!

Just because the week is over, our shared responsibility for student safety doesn't have to be. Remember: Safety doesn't begin or end with the bus ride. It's about Safety at Every Stop - from the moment a child leaves their front door until they return home.

Let's continue to slow down, stop when the stop arm is out, and watch for our students every day!

We asked our principals the ultimate question: If you could have any superpower for just one school day, what would it be and why?

Their answers prove they're already heroes in our schools, but their dream powers show exactly where they want to focus their energy!⚡

National School Lunch Week brought a fun surprise to our cafeterias this week! Students didn’t know until they reached the front of the line that our administrators were their “celebrity servers.” At the Middle School, Mr. Wheeler and Ms. Cagle shared smiles and a lot of laughter while serving lunch. At the High School, Mr. Clark and Mr. Coleman-Pender joined in on the fun, too! Everyone enjoyed this special experience, and it was a perfect way to celebrate the week.
