This year’s 7th-8th grade class trip was a 4-day visit to our nation’s capital. Eleven of us (nine kids and two teacher chaperones) made the long drive on Monday, spent two very busy days exploring museums and sites around D.C., and then headed home on Thursday. We rode together, ate our meals together, walked miles and miles together, wandered through exhibits together, and had a great time relaxing in our Airbnb in downtown Washington, D.C., together.

Although Jane has unofficially been working at TNCA in numerous roles for the past several years, this year she made the decision to come on as a full-time staff member as our Director of Admissions and Outreach Coordinator.

We are so excited to welcome Lori Lapallo to our TNCA team! Lori will work as a Team Teacher alongside Elise Cross in our K4-Kindergarten classroom.
