Mark your calendars! On Sunday, January 4th, Northwood Alum Jared Schultz will be playing for the UW-River Falls Falcons in the Stagg Bowl. The game will be on ESPN and it starts at 8:00 PM (Eastern Time) and is being played in Canton, Ohio. Good luck to Jared and the rest of the Falcon team!

The auditions have been done and the cast has been determined! Congratulations to all of the students! We look forward to seeing the production!

On Friday, NorthStar presented their Ancient Civilization projects at Coffee Connections! Students researched the big concepts that make up a civilization: Time Period, Government, Culture, Religion, and Technology. After researching, students completed a writing component that ranged from mini-books, brochures, newspapers, or informational papers. They also created hands-on projects that ranged from detailed drawings, artifacts from the civilization, or 3D models. Thanks to all who attended!
