Leading with Heart: Mrs. Myers' Message
Dear Northwestern Families,
It's beginning to feel a lot like fall! What a beautiful time of the year. We have so many exciting events coming up and we want to share them all with you! Parent teacher conferences are coming up on October 14th. We are thrilled to discuss your child's academic progress and the joy that they bring to our building! More details will be provided about conferences in the upcoming week.
Trunk or Treat will be on Thursday, October 29th sponsored by the high school FFA. It will be outside like last year and it will be a blast! Our annual ROCK OUR SCHOOL festivities will occur on October 30th all day long! We are preparing for our best day ever! We will also host our fall parties on the same day!
Our Fall Book Fair began on Monday, September 28th and runs through Friday, October 2nd. We have an incredible selection of books for all ages. Special things are happening at Northwestern Elementary School. We appreciate your support, love, and investment in our students. Happy fall!
