Starting Wednesday, November 12th, the Northwood Honor Society will be hosting a Penny War. A penny war is where pennies (copper coins) count positively to a class's / group's tally and silver coins or green bills count negatively towards the tally. So if a group has 25 pennies and then someone puts in a quarter, their tally would be zero. This year, the winning groups will get donuts! One for PK-5th grade students, one in the middle school including NorthStar, and one with 9th-12th grade. All funds will go to our local food shelves to help our communities' families undergoing hardships. The money will be collected in the library. The last day for collecting funds will be Thursday, November 20th.

NorthStar spent time this week learning how to make traditional Bavarian soft pretzels with help of friends from the UW-Extension office! Part of the process required a diluted food grade lye bath--similar to lye used in making lutefisk--that gives the pretzels their signature deep brown crust and chewy center.

HS Basketball Start Dates 2025
Throughout the first quarter Mrs. Turinske was “catching” middle school students reading and giving them a sticker or a charm as a reward and kept track of those who were caught. She secretly reached out to Northwind Book and Fiber in Spooner who graciously donated a $15 gift certificate to reward one of those readers. She did a drawing from the names of the students she caught reading and Santiago was awarded the gift certificate!

Thank you to Northwind Book and Fiber for supporting our students and encouraging reading! And congratulations, Santiago!
