This morning as we turned on equipment, a loud pop occurred, and our electricity went off. At 7:15 a.m., we knew we would be unable to have school. Our school employees started notifying parents, and we shut down very quickly. Fortunately, electricians were available and able to fix the problem today.
I have been employed by NPS for over thirty years, in the principal position only a year and a half. I knew this position would be an adventure, but I never dreamed it would be as adventurous as it has been! We never seem to know what tomorrow will bring. However, one thing I do know, I would never want to be anywhere else. The support and kindness of this community and the staff are beyond imagination. I know what a hardship it is when we cancel school. I am so very sorry. Thank you for your understanding.
We will see you tomorrow.
