REMINDER that our one time lunch fee of $150 is due to the office by October 2nd. This fee pays for amazing, healthy, hot lunches, Monday to Friday and one hot breakfast on Wednesdays. It equates to $3.85 cents per week so even if your students only eats one day a week, it is still very affordable. You can e-transfer to the office at nssetransfer@sd10.bc.ca or send money with students to bring to the office.
We are down to only a few students who have not yet returned their very important and colourful paperwork. A second email will be going home to those parents as a reminder their students to bring home before requesting a duplicate copy from the office.

Respect Matters
Nakusp Secondary School opened in 1957 and is one of six schools in School District 10, Arrow Lakes. It has a current school population of 149 students and 25 staff members. Students come into Grade 8 from the elementary schools in Nakusp, Burton & Edgewood.
NSS is very much at the heart of Nakusp’s community with generations in the village having passed through the hallways of the school. This means that the community is very generous in the time it gives to the school whether through coaching school teams, mentoring students in work placements, volunteering time in class, sharing expertise or attending monthly PAC meetings.
