NF Generosity Nets $490 from "Pink Out"
PAX Leaaders of the Month, (Caring for Others)
Welcome Ms. Susan Palchesko, Interim Principal
On behalf of the NF students and staff, let's welcome Ms. Susan Palchesko to our building as interim principal. Ms. Palchesko will spend a few days 'shadowing' and meeting students and staff in preparation for her official start on Thursday, November 12th. Ms. Palchesko is a retired public educator who has served in numerous teaching and administrative positions. Most recently, Sue served at Nordonia Middle School last winter through the end of the academic year. Please welcome Ms. Palchesko to the NF community.
"Character Counts...Fairness"
As the calendar turns to November, NF announces a new theme for our Character Counts initiative. Students and staff will collectively focus on the concept of "fairness." In all honesty, many of our classrooms have already spoken and practiced fairness earlier on in the year when each class develops a PAX class vision and mission statements. As educators, we share with students that 'equal' is not the same as 'fairness.' What one child may need for academic success, for example, may be different than other students.
NF Night at the Cleveland Monsters Hockey Game
On Sunday, January 31st at 3:00 p.m., the Cleveland Monsters will host special recognition for the families from Northfield Elementary School. One lucky student will have the opportunity to ride the Zamboni machine during a break in the action. There are two ways to order tickets. Pick the order process that is most convenient for your family. Tickets will be distributed electronically in mid to late January.

- From Nurse Rebecca: Please return borrowed clothing items that are lent out from the clinic when your child has an accident. I am seeing an increase in items not being brought back. We need to keep the inventory full in order to aid other students, including your own, when in need.
"Pink Out:" All the proceeds from last week's Pink Out will go to a local cancer awareness agency in Mrs. Kristen Finley's name.
- One School, One Book: After (10) consecutive years of hosting OSOB, the decision was made to take this year off so that the school staff can assess and determine how improvements can be made for the 2027-2028 year. NF is considering hosting a literacy event in March, but with less fanfare.
