Warriors, grab your glasses to witness the solar eclipse!!

✨Friday, fifth grade students enjoyed a change in their normal schedule. The teachers hosted a scatter day that allowed each homeroom to visit all 6 of the fifth grade teachers for an exciting lesson about the upcoming eclipse! 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘 ✨Students watched scientific videos, plotted the path of totality while reviewing their states and capitals, solved logic puzzles about umpraphiles (an umbraphile is a shadow chaser), created eclipse arts and crafts, discussed scale models, safety, and what to expect during the Total Eclipse on Monday, April 8th. Students also received their solar eclipse viewing glasses during one of these fun and exciting learning stations.

REMINDER: The campus will be CLOSED, Monday, April 8th, due to the solar eclipse.

Approximately 60+ Northwestern students in grades 7-12 have been wellness leaders, alongside staff and the district's partners in prevention, to bring positivity and well-being to their peers throughout the school year. Sources of Strength is a program to prevent adverse outcomes by increasing wellbeing, help-seeking, resiliency, healthy coping, good physical health, and belonging. As a requirement of House Bill 123, the Safety and Violence Education Students Act, better known as the SAVE Students Act, schools are required to implement an evidence-based suicide prevention program. Nationally recognized, the Sources of Strength wellness program improves student emotional well-being and works to prevent suicide, substance misuse, bullying, and violence.The Sources of Strength team received expert training and they meet regularly during Pride to promote 'sources' of having 'strength' in difficult situations.
