TNCS Honors Moms with Mother’s Day Celebrations, 2024!

Because The New Century School was built on the foundation of a close-knit, thriving community, events held throughout the year offer opportunities for families to interact with their TNCS students during the school day—to see TNCS as it really operates.

None of these such events is more cherished than the Mother’s Day brunch. A long-standing TNCS tradition, the Mother’s Day celebration has taken several forms (outdoor picnics in one of several different parks, in-classroom banquets), but one thing remains constant: the sheer joy its attendees (small and large) experience.

Have a look at this year’s celebrations!

And now, in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese!

As if that’s not enough to tug on your heart strings, just for fun, take a look back at the first TNCS Mother’s Day celebration: 2013!

TNCS Spring Festival 2024 Gets Wild!

Nothing matters more at The New Century School than its community of students, teachers, staff, and families. That’s why TNCS Director of Student Support Alexis Watson has done it again: pulled off another wildly successful Spring Festival that brought everyone together for a day of fun! Her inaugural event last year was what everyone thought would be an unparalleled success, that is, until she surpassed even that triumph this year!

On Tuesday, April 30th, TNCS primary students followed by elementary and middle school students once again took to the parking lot for games, activities, fun food, and even some wildlife! They even had perfect weather, with temps feeling more like summer than spring, which added even more to the general holiday feeling.

Many vendors and stalls returned, back by popular demand, such as the bouncy house, a Kona Ice truck, a photo booth, a hot dog and snacks table, and Mary’s Go-Round Petting Zoo, plus all the games and activities students could want. But wait! we said surpassed right? New this year were a dunk tank (thanks, dads, for volunteering to get soaked!) for the big kids and pony rides for the little ones! And, once again, Sistahs’ Sweets food truck put the icing on the cupcake.

As one parent wrote in by email, “Ms. Watson: Once again you’ve created unforgettable memories for our kids.  It was a fantastic event and thank you for everything you do for them.”
