Seniors enjoy final week of high school
In a series of fun activities during their last week as NDCL students, our Class of 2021 made sure that the words of our alma mater will ring true as they made memories sure to bring joy for years to come.
Seniors organized a series of creative dress down days, including “dress like a middle schooler” and “dress like your future career.” Wednesday afternoon’s Senior Cookout featured a tropical theme as seniors and about 50 parent volunteers celebrated together on a near-perfect spring day.
On Friday our NDCL “old-timers” wrapped up their high school careers by dressing like senior citizens. To end our week-long celebration of the Class of 2021, Principal Mr. Joseph A. Waler treated the entire school community to waffle cone sundaes at lunch.
