An unusual end to a great school year
The school year has come to a close. It is not the way that anyone would have thought or hoped that the year would come to an end. We all wish that your students, faculty and staff could have celebrated together the end of school year and all that they had accomplished . Unfortunately, that is not possible with the current situation and the faculty and staff at all five NDAA schools did their best to finish the school year strong. We would like to thank our scholars and their families for their understanding and flexibility with home-based learning. Credit must be given to our teachers and staff for their hard work and dedication to continue to provide the quality education that our families have come to expect while not being able to be in the classroom. A special thanks goes to our principals and school leaders for their guidance and direction during these unprecedented times. We hope that everyone has a great and safe summer and we look forward to returning to school in the fall.
NDAA schools provide food to families in need
The NDAA Indianapolis schools have continued to provide meals to families in need while schools are closed because of the COVID-19 outbreak. Schools have been serving over 3000 meals a week. Meals have been prepared at two of the schools and then transported to all 5 schools for distribution to families. Meals were provided for any child under the age of 18 even if they were not a student. We would also like to thank the Notre Dame Club of Indianapolis for their generous donations to help schools provide families in need with basic needs.
