The Pura Vida club hosted their third annual flag football tournament Sunday, November 8 on the water tower field. There were 23 teams and 151 players.
Sharon Knechtle founded Pura Vida at NCHS four years ago after she went on a mission trip with students. They enjoyed the trip and weren’t ready to have it all end, she said. As a result, they decided to make a year-round club dedicated to helping the world’s impoverished people.

During the November/December cycle, the Courant will be focusing more on the website because during the last publication cycle the website did not update often. In order to increase the publication for online, stories will be posted according to relevance (timeliness), meaning if an article is covering a specific event it will be published within a week or so about it.
