VISION 2012 Supplement to the OBSERVER • Saturday, March 24, 2012 27 PLAY NCCS invests in children, invests in the community In area Catholic churches we often hear the phrase “time, talent and treasure” cited as a guide to encourage our participation. At Northern Chautauqua Catholic School this is evident in many ways. Throughout its 23 years families, faculty, staff and supporting parishes have worked together to demonstrate the strengths of regionalism in our area. One of the accomplishments of these efforts is the maintenance of Middle States Accreditation; requiring the efforts and commitment of the entire school to grow and strive to improve its well-rounded educational offering. The caring atmosphere starts with welcoming greetings as you enter the facility and continues throughout your visit, often including the opportunity to share Fr. Joseph Zalacca’s lessons with the children. Fr. Joe’s first year as the school’s Canonical Administrator began as an “ice cream scooper” at the annual August Ice Cream Social. His enthusiastic involvement with the children has heightened their awareness of his spiritual guidance as well. The certified faculty strive to help each child to progress within their classroom. From the Teddy Bear Picnic in the Pre-K 3-year-old program to the educational goals of the eighth grade’s trip to past settings of Boston, Washington, D.C., Gettysburg, Williamsburg or Cleveland, the students have a wide range of academic experiences. The balanced efforts of the OBSERVER file photo Bishop Edward Kmiec of the Buffalo Diocese (center) recently blessed the new gym floor at Northern Chautauqua Catholic Schools as part of Catholic Schools entire faculty are reflected in the strong assessment resultsofthestudents. The families of NCCS support the efforts of the children bringing their talents to a variety of events. The Home School Association plans and organizes many activities that supplement the funding of the school and strive to keep tuition affordable for local families. Their efforts also support field trips opportunities for all grades. This includes the three-year cycle of third to fifth grades attending the Genesee Country Museum, Lockport Locks and Old Fort Niagara. The Association established a morning reading library the children use to make good use of their arrival time at school. The volunteer efforts of the athletic director and coaches have provided the guidance toward impressive athletic accomplishments. This school year has witnessed league championships in JV and Varsity Baseball, JV and Varsity Girls Basketball, JV and Varsity Boys Basketball. An achievement never accomplished before the Boys Varsity Basketball team won the Diocesan Championship this year. The generous support of school families, past and present, has also resulted in the new gym floor, recently blessed by Bishop Edward Kmiec during Catholic Schools Week. A new sound system in the gym will be completed prior to the school musical: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jr. in April and the spring concert in May. A state-ofthe-art scoreboard completes the enhancements to the gym this school year. Throughout a child’s NCCS experience they will participate in many service projects aiding St. Jude’s Hospital, Relay for Life, area Veterans and others. They will enjoy camping trips that incorporate all of their academic subject areas and complete their eighth grade as a confident, prepared young person, ready for the high school of their choice. Recently completed Catholic Schools Week provided several examples of the Catholic identity of NCCS. Visiting the school website you will find link to the beautiful Living Rosary, as well as the Mass and visit from Bishop Kmiec. A Bible camp-modeled experience in the gym centered on the Beatitudes. The spirit of generous giving is modeled by many families of NCCS alumni as they continue to support the children long after their own children have graduated. It may be in the school’s library, sports teams, mathematical activities or helping at open houses.
