“Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally. It comes from what you do consistently.” — Marie Forleo

Hello Lions!

We’ve got an incredible week ahead — full of practice, preparation, and pride as we gear up for one of our biggest celebrations of the term… FAMILY DAY!

🦁 FAMILY DAY IS COMING!

Family Day is when our parents and families come to see what we’ve been working on at NLS — a day to showcase your talent, teamwork, and spirit!

Each student may invite up to three guests to attend.We’ll have a special presentation and program, so every Lion plays a role in making it an unforgettable event.

Check your emails! Some of you will have special parts — including speeches, performances, and leadership roles.
