PAC NEWS

NMC's Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) meets most months at 7 p.m. on the same day as the monthly Tuesday early dismissal days. The committee is a great way to find out about everything that is happening at the school and to ask questions to school staff.  Many people don't realize that NMC's PAC is advisory only, which means that there are no fundraisers to organize! All meetings last no more than 1 hour.  Come on out to the next meeting on November 26 to see what it's all about!
