2024 RWTS – Sponsorship Printable Form - Thanksgiving Luncheon – November 25
On Monday, November 25, we will host our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon. All parents are cordially invited to attend this special event with their child(ren). For a number of years, we have linked this celebration to an outreach effort to benefit the St. Lucy Project, a large warehouse in Manassas where staff and volunteers process and distribute donations to numerous food pantries in our region. This initiative is in support of We Care Week to benefit Catholic Charities, which is scheduled for the first week of December.
Again, this year, donations may be included with your Thanksgiving Luncheon payment. Please see the order form link below for more details. Additionally, the NJHS will set up a collection station at the entrance to the cafeteria on the day of the event. We invite your participation again as we work together to support the mission of Catholic Charities and to make a positive difference in our community of Manassas.

Volunteers are needed to help with set-up and decorations, clean-up, food preparation, and with serving food during the Thanksgiving Luncheon.

Parent-teacher conferences will take place on the afternoon of Friday, November 8th and through the day on Monday, November 11th.
Please see the links below to schedule an in-person meeting with your child’s homeroom teacher. New this year, Middle School students are asked to attend with their parents or guardians. We look forward to using a “student led” conference model that involves their participation and reflection with you and their teacher.

Otherwise, it will be assumed that you will be in person. Please write the name of your child in the comment box so the teacher knows who to expect.
Parents of middle school students who wish to speak with a specific subject area teacher (other than their homeroom) are invited to contact the faculty member directly to schedule a conference time.
