Spring Updates

Dear NWCC Family,

Seattle’s spring is quite versatile—rainy, haily, thundery, windy, sunny, then back to rain again! Let’s embrace this colorful season together.

Easter Mass at Our Lady of Fatima

Thank you to everyone who reached out about the Easter Mass concert at Our Lady of Fatima. We had six studentsparticipate in this special collaboration, and we were excited to see them work with other musicians for a shared cause. We’ll be sharing photos and videos of their performance soon!

Upcoming Events & Important Updates

1. Spring Break (April 5 & 12, 2025)
