Parent"The PTF International Day event this year was a wonderful, fun, and informative event! Thank you to our school leaders, PTF, teachers, and staff, as well as parents who participated in this event/celebration and made it happen! It was a joy seeing students asking questions, playing with some of the displayed musical instruments, exploring & learning at each table. I loved visiting each table and learning about everyone's culture and history. May God bless you all and your families. Thank you, Northshore Christian Academy."
