A week from today, the Northwood School will be having their annual Family & Community Night. It will be Thursday, March 30th from 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM. This will also be a time for student-led conferences. The NEF is graciously providing a free meal for all in attendance and there will be community displays, items for sale by the Art and Evergreen Enterprise students, and the book fair.
