Tonight's Boys' Varsity soccer game against Indian Lake has been cancelled. A make-up date will follow.

Congratulations to the girls tennis team and Coaches Kevin Fraker and Colin Imwalle for not only winning the 2019 CBC, but also going undefeated in league play. Beating Kenton Ridge, Tecumseh, and Jonathan Alder twice along with the other teams in the CBC, that is a HUGE accomplishment! #GOWARRIORS

Thank you to all the NW players who raised money for the Bump for Becky Serve-a-thon! Together through the Serve-a-thon, we raised over $4,300 for the Parke family! Strong work and terrific serving!

Northwestern football players have been seen reading in our first grade classrooms this year. Pictured is senior Korbin Spencer doing just that. Coach Brian Stevens had this to say about what they are doing. "As a football program we are trying to show our players the positive impact that we can have on others around us. We want our players to realize that "little eyes are always watching." We want our players to be role models for the younger students and to understand they have a responsibility to lead and demonstrate positive behaviors for our future students and players." Thank you to the coaches and players who are stepping outside of the box to be GREAT! #GoWarriors

STEM Grades 4, 5, and 6 classes have been working on team building challenges in order to establish a positive culture that fosters the norms that students shared for our STEM classroom. The five norms that we think anyone who enters our classroom should notice and feel are SAFE, INNOVATION, COOPERATION, THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX, and FUN! We've built pipecleaner towers, index card towers, jellybean/toothpick towers, spaghetti/marshmallow towers, and the longest paper chains! Experiences in this room are what you make of them! The possibilities are endless! -Mrs. Swensen
