One annual tradition at Northwood is the Holiday Bazaar. The students in grades PK-5th get a chance to buy gifts for their family members and will bring the wrapped gifts home right before Christmas Break. The Northwood Student Council is sponsoring the bazaar this year. They are looking for donations of men's gifts and tape for wrapping presents. If you are willing and able, please bring donations to the School Office by Friday, December 16th.
Get to Know You Wednesdays! Again for the next few Wednesdays, we are going to highlight some of our GREAT staff members. This is just a little glimpse of our caring and hard-working crew.
