MOM'S DAY OUT- SATURDAY, DEC. 10th & DEC. 17th FROM 1PM - 4PM

NHS will be sponsoring a MOM'S DAY OUT which is free babysitting from 1PM - 4PM in the Notre Dame Academy auditorium. The children will be entertained by our junior and senior students by watching videos, drawing, coloring, playing with playdough and playing board games. Popcorn and juice boxes will be provided while they're enjoying their time with the girls. Children from infants to 10 year olds will be welcomed!

Notre Dame Academy's chapter of the National Honor Society exists to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of Notre Dame Academy.
