NCCS: 2016-2017

This year started off well with the Terry Fox Run, the Christmas Craft fair and Christmas Concert. This year we raised $799 as a whole to send to the Terry Fox Foundation. Also the Christmas Concert was absolutely phenomenal this year. The school really came together to make it work. Our school is a great example to our community and a light in Quesnel.

God has done wonderful things so far this year and I know that he will do many, many more things in the coming months and years. -Sara Englund
