NorthStar ventured to Spooner City Park yesterday to explore the mountain biking trails. Not only did they gain experience biking on rugged terrain, they also stopped along the way to discuss glacial formations, proper trail maintenance, and to gather ideas to bring back for our own school forest.
Today we celebrate four of our Northwood Class of 2025, Cameron Dolan, Carter Finstad, Jordyn Henning and Grace Michie! These seniors have worked hard, made memories, and are ready to take on the future. Join us in cheering them on as they prepare for their next adventure!
