New News
Girls Varsity Volleyball! If you have not seen them play, you are missing out because this group of young ladies are an excellent team. Last year they went to the state championship game and lost by just a couple of points. This year, Coach Wood anticipates they have what it takes to be in the state championship game again. If that is the case, the state championship game will be held on Friday, November 8th. The team still must win the regional game (this Sat.) and then the semi-final game after that. If they make it all the way to the final game, all school will be canceled on Friday, November 8th to include the elementary and after school care, in support of our NBCA lady Wildcat team. Please be on the lookout for an email and news blast through the NBCA live feed app on Thursday night as to the outcome of the semi-final game. Correspondence will be sent out whether they win or lose. Go Wildcats!
Hot Lunch ordering details Remember that the lunch ordering online capabilities for parents is closed from 9am - noon on school days so that Mrs. Jackson can run reports. If you have any questions regarding, you can call the elementary office 830-629-6222.
All Pro Dads Our next opportunity for this event is Friday, November 8th. If you put two and two together, you realize that is also the potential day that the volleyball team is in the state game and thus no school. This will be addressed in the correspondence on the evening of Thursday, November 7th. Also, be aware that we have set two dates for APD in the spring: Friday, February 28th and Friday, May 1st. We had a great turnout on our first one and I hope it was a blessing to you and your children.

Treats for Troops -Presented by Great Oaks Dentistry
Dr. Marshall Warren, whose 2 children
graduated from NBCA, and his team at Great Oaks Dentistry are hosting a fun,
friendly competition among grades at New Braunfels Christian Academy. To
participate, students should bring unopened candy to class during the week of
Nov. 4-8. Collected class candy will be weighed at the end of the week, and the
class with the most candy will win a pizza party from Great Oaks Dentistry!
All candy will then be sent to servicemen and
women overseas. We want to put a SWEET SMILE on our troop’s face, let them know
we are thinking of them, and at the same time keep our children’s smiles sweet!
