ANNOUNCEMENTS

Teacher Appreciation Luncheon

During the professional learning afternoon on Feb 18, the Saxe PTC will again host a faculty and staff appreciation luncheon to celebrate everyone who makes Saxe such an amazing school. In past years, we have asked for volunteers to bring in salads, desserts, beverages, etc. to help show our appreciation. Due to Covid concerns, this year we will be treating the staff to boxed lunches from Taco Fiesta. $20 covers the cost of a complete Taco Fiesta lunch.

NCSF Announces the 2^nd Annual NC Color Drop

The NCHS Scholarship Foundation (NCSF) will hold its second NC Color Drop on Saturday, March 26th, 2022 at 10:00am. After a successful event last year, a sleek Bell407 helicopter, courtesy of HeliNY, will once again fly over the skies of New Canaan and hover over Waveny Park, safely releasing more than 1500 colored golf balls over a designated target. Each golf ball will have an assigned number. The lucky person whose ball lands closest to the target will win a fabulous prize, such as a Momentum Transend Electric Bike, a Pet Portrait by Emma Sims, Mayfair Tickets, and an 84 Sports NC Gift Basket. The winning balls will be announced immediately. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the NCSF for need-based scholarships given to NCHS graduates.

Bill Egan, NCHS Principal and Chairman of the NCSF, believes the 2022 NC Color Drop is an opportunity for the community to make a difference in the lives of students. “Transitioning to the Color Drop last year was so exciting and we are looking for the same amount of enthusiasm this year. Seeing a rainbow of golf balls raining down on the field was a thrill and knowing that each bit of color represented a donation to help a student made the NC Color Drop a special way to celebrate NCSF.”

Spectators will be allowed to view the NC Color Drop from a safe distance in Waveny. Golf balls will be available for purchase online beginning March 1^st at nchs-sf.org.
