National Day of Prayer
May 6, 2010
NorthBay observed the National Day of Prayer with a student-led assembly attended by parents and teachers. Students in grades Pre-K through 8th grade participated by praying for each branch of our state and national governments and our military. Before the assembly, the parents enjoyed a time of food and fellowship provided by the NorthBay teachers and administrators for Parent Appreciation Day. Parents also had time to browse the Scholastic Book Fair.

Helicopter Missionaries
April 23, 2010
Where can you learn about missions, translating the Bible into other languages, and how to fly a helicopter all in one place? NorthBay's chapel of course! Chapel began with Mr. Mower of JAARS (Jungle Aviation And Radio Service) sharing his experiences as a missionary in the Philippines. While he was talking, the students were listening for a JAARS helicopter which was coming to land at school about 50 feet from where they were sitting! We watched as it landed, bringing Mr. Dan Miller, also of JAARS. The students learned about the many people groups in the world that still do not have the Bible translated and written in their language. The missionaries also explained how the helicopters are used in missions around the world to carry people into areas that would take days to get to by roads or by boat. The helicopters have helped many people receive medical care, food and water supplies, and other life essentials that they would not have been able to receive.
Spirit Week
March 15, 2010
NorthBay's Student Government sponsored our first-ever Spirit Week! On Tuesday, it was Knight and Princess day. The students were very creative and really put their personalities in their costumes. On Thursday, it was Switcheroo Day. Students could dress like teachers and teachers could dress like students! Then on Friday, it was School Color Day and students dressed in navy and grey to show their NorthBay spirit!
Student Government Service Day
January 25, 2010
NorthBay's Student Government officers and representatives volunteered at the Tampa Children's Cancer Center. Students and parents sanitized all the toys in the playroom and organized a supply closet for the staff.
Team Spirit Day
January 21, 2010
Before the Super Bowl, the NCA Student Government sponsored a "super" dress-down day! Students and staff donated money to the NorthBay student government fund for the opportunity to dress in their favorite team apparel.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!
December 10, 2009
NorthBay's upper-grade Drama class presented "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!" to parents, grandparents and their fellow students. This multi-act play is a hilarious look at a small-town church's annual Christmas production and what happens when a family from "the wrong side of the tracks" decides to participate.
