A new addition has been made to the lounge: a large whiteboard calendar that looks down upon the bustling tables and vibrantly decorated windows. Many have seen it while climbing the stairs or getting yet another cookie, but few realize where it came from, or why it’s there.

On Wednesday, Nov. 10, NCHS played host to the Veterans Day Assembly. The assembly was conducted in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Korean War and the 235th anniversary of the Marine Corps. The Korean War earned the title “the Forgotten War” due to its unpopularity during the 1950’s. However, America’s participation in the Korean War helped South Korea become the prosperous, thriving nation that it is today. “I don’t want it to be the Forgotten War. I want students to remember the sacrifices many Americans made,” Principal Tony Pavia said.
Today, November 11th, Principal Tony Pavia announced his retirement. He is in his fifteenth year as a principal, and is in his ninth year here. In an email addressed to faculty, he wrote, “I have given this school the very best I have to offer and not unlike an aging athlete, I have decided that it is best to leave while the spring is still in my step.”

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.
