A Professional Video of the Pageant will be taped and available for purchase. Purchase of the video will give you the opportunity to enjoy the performance without worry or distractions.

Holiday Parties are scheduled for Thursday, December 16 for PK2 and Friday, December 17, for PK3-5^th grades. PK classes will dismiss slightly early on Friday to avoid over crowding and congestion during the all school dismissal at 11:45 am.

Fieldtrips provide both educational and cultural experiences that cannot be equaled in the classroom. The school makes every effort to choose trips that offer value both educationally and financially, and we do expect participation by all students. The cost of each trip varies, and may include admission, transportation, meal, and other services. If you find the fee for a particular experience is not in your monthly budget, we are happy to work with you. Please contact Pam Dorsey at pdorsey@napschool.com or 410.757.3090 to discuss payment options.

NAPS 5K/10K T-shirts are now on sale! Shirts can be purchased for $5 each. Contact May Brady for more information at 410.757.3090

Tax Records and Tuition Invoices – Some pre-kindergarten and childcare expenses are tax deductible. To claim such expenses you must provide verification and our Federal ID# 52-6001692. Confer with a certified tax professional for details. We do ask that you save your monthly invoices throughout the year, as we are unable to generate a history of invoices at year’s end.

To assist you in this effort, please feel free to retain your original monthly invoices. It is not necessary to enclose the invoice when making a tuition payment. Always write the student name(s) on the memo line of your check, and the appropriate account will be credited. This is especially important if the name on the check does not match that of the child.

NAPS FAMILIES TO THE RESCUE!

Our own Noelle Norton, mother of 4^th grader Ethan Lovette and 1^st grader Mimi Norton, is currently undergoing aggressive cancer treatment. During most of this challenging time, Noelle has the live in support of her extended family. However, during the holiday period the Norton family will be without help, and your assistance with meals would be especially appreciated.

During the holiday break meals can be delivered directly to their Severna Park home or to the Annapolis home of meal coordinator/NAPS mom, Jean Macindoe. Alternately, Jean is happy to do both pick-up and delivery of your donation. Once school resumes, meals can be sent to the school during morning carpool and a staff member will ensure that the meal goes home with the Norton children. Your help in any form is appreciated, and meals need not be homemade. However, disposable containers are greatly appreciated.

Please contact the school if you would like to contribute.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

NAPS Reopens Monday, January 10!
