Here is another Halloween event for our local families!
Picture Retake Day will be Monday, October 19th at Northwood School District. Anyone who missed the original day in September will have an opportunity to get their picture taken along with our Tiny Seeds students.
The NSS Football team will be competing in the WIAA Playoffs Level 1 on Saturday, October 17th vs. Rib Lake. The game will be held at Northwood School and begins at 1:00 PM. This is a WIAA tournament competition, so admission is $6.00 for everyone except children 6 years or younger are free. No passes will be accepted. Best of luck to those players and coaches!
Northwood School will be hosting their annual Trunk or Treat on Saturday, October 31st from 1:30 - 3:30 PM in the elementary parking lot loop. All trick or treaters are welcome to attend!
If you love handing out treats on Halloween, but do not have the amount of trick or treaters you'd like to see, you can join in on the fun by contacting Miss Alana at the school, alana_hill@northwoodk12wi.com. All are welcome to join in and there is no cost to have a trunk of treats.

There has been a change of yearbook advisors this year. If you have any pictures you'd like to share to be use in our yearbooks, please email them to Ms. Georgia (georgia_becherer@northwoodk12wi.com). Thanks for your help because it is hard for one person to make it to all of the events for our school.
