Napoleon Community Schools -

Dear Parents and Career Center Students, Due to an unforeseen driver shortage, we will have a delayed JACC bus run on FRIDAY 11/15/24, departing at approximately 8:20AM from the normal spot. ALL Napoleon JACC bus riders are to report to the NHS cafeteria until time to load. Mr. Shell will be there to assist students. We are also informing Career Center administration of this. We would greatly appreciate it if you could help spread this message to other families with students in the AM Career Center program. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Welcome back Cassidy Hurd, Napoleon Alumni, and World's Toughest Row Participant! On Nov. 12th we are going to have the pleasure of having Cassidy Hurd (a Napoleon Alumni) come to talk to our students about her journey; she participated in the "World's Toughest Row" across the Pacific Ocean. Hurd rowed 38 days across the Pacific Ocean, pushing her physical and mental limits. She hopes to inspire the next generation to chase their dreams no matter the challenge. She chose to support the charity “Play Like a Girl”, which empowers young girls through sports and education, because it aligns with her mission to encourage girls to recognize their potential to boldly pursue their goals. Through her journey, she hopes to show others the strength and resilience they hold within themselves. Here is her youtube channel to watch: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cassidy+hurd Here is a link to describe the "World's Toughest Row": https://www.worldstoughestrow.com/the-pacific/ We are trying to help raise money for her charity “Play Like A Girl” as a ‘thank you’ for coming to inspire our youth. Attached is the t-shirt fundraiser to raise money for Cassidy’s charity. Order forms are due to the office or Miss Pence (at the high school) by the end of the day November 15th.
