Yesterday, Northwood fifth graders from Team O’Donaghue & Serenka built the tallest “trees” out of cups and decorated with a star and at least 10 handmade ornaments! The students in the last photo came out the winners in this fun STEM activity.
First graders in Ellen Didas' class at Northwood decorated their desks for the holidays with the help of students from the Introduction to Teaching class at Hilton High School. Students teamed up with tinsel, wrapping paper, stickers, mini trees, ribbons, bows and more to create festive desks for the little ones to enjoy the week before the holidays. Afterwards, the students worked on crafts and games together.

On Dec. 15, Jen Sica's fifth grade class at Northwood gave guests a peek into what life was like for the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayans. They created virtual museums, and two- and three-dimensional displays to illustrate the clothing, beliefs, homes, calendar, food, traditions, and creations of these ancient civilizations, and shared what they learned with their guests.
The Northwood VEPTO organized an "Elf Shelf" so students can shop for their loved ones this holiday season. Volunteers not only set out many items for the students to choose from and helped them shop, but decorated the stage with balloons, snowmen and wintery scenes. Even the Grinch showed up! Shown here are (l-r) Stefania Vincelli, Monica Guarino, Barbara Semenec, Melissa Molinini (a.k.a. Grinch), VEPTO President Amy Blakely, VEPTO Treasurer Mishelle Kittlinger, and Shlynn Hodkinson.

The third grade Challenge Group at Northwood had a special visitor via Zoom this week – Sara McAllister, a research mechanical engineer at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory in Montana. McAllister's research interests include understanding fundamental combustion and heat transfer processes related to the spread of wildfires. Students prepared questions and were excited to learn more about her career and how her work has helped communities deal with wildfires.
“During our Challenge Group sessions, students have enjoyed researching and journaling about their amazing experiences chasing storms around the country,” said Melanie Klock, REACH teacher. “They have traveled virtually to Louisiana to witness a hurricane, Minnesota to see a blizzard, California to see a wildfire, and then Kansas for our last storm, a tornado.”
Please note that Tuesday, Oct. 31 is a half day session for ALL students K-12. The printed calendar sent to homes incorrectly states that it is a half day for K-6. Students will arrive home approximately 4 hours earlier than normal.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our student & staff volunteers, community groups, and to those who donated food & clothing, recycled electronics & brought their documents for secure disposal during this year’s Make a Difference Day on Saturday. We are so proud of how our community comes together every year to #MakeADifference! And let’s not forget a shout out to Wegmans Latta Rd. for providing our volunteers with breakfast & lunch!
