The Weekly Falcon

Northwood Hills Elementary School

Mackie Kazdoy, principal


Tomorrow Wednesday, October 3 is Walk or Ride a Bike to School day! The PTA will have volunteer crossing guards watching out for extra walkers and riders!
Many thanks to Elena Torres (Isabela’s mom) for the Starbucks gift certificate she donated for staff drawings! Thank you also to Melanie Carsey (Sarah’s mom) for donating a gift card to Starbucks and one to Blockbuster. And thank you to the Anonymous donor who left us the gift certificate for On the Border and Chili’s! You all are very generous and the teachers are so excited to get these surprises!
Picture Day will be this Friday, October 5. Envelopes for ordering pictures will be in today’s Tuesday Folder. If you want to buy pictures, money must be turned in by Friday.
Have you checked out our school’s web site? It’s full of useful and fun info! Since this is a new month, the staff picture on Guess Who has been changed, so you can start guessing who this new person is.  Randy Testut (Riley and Jayce’s dad) has also created an Answers to previous Guess Who contests page where people can see who the previous Guess Who staff members were. Also, check out the teacher spotlight page (The Other Side Of . . .) to learn interesting details about Ms. Pailes!
If you know someone who is an NHE parent and was a former NHE student please contact Cathy Bywaters (Katie and Will’s mom). Ms. Bywaters is writing a column to submit to the newspaper. You can email her at cebywaters@yahoo.com.
Invention Convention entries are due to Ms. Derrington on October 11.
 
SAGE = Special and Gifted Education: Do you have an interest in special education, and/or gifted and talented programs? Would you like to learn more about how we can bring attention and support to these students and their families? If, your answer is YES, then…Here at NHE, we have a special committee to support Special and Gifted Education called SAGE and we need volunteers like you. Please, join our NHE PTA and contact JoAnn Gonzalez (Victoria’s mom), SAGE Chair at joannkat@sbcglobal.net or (214) 797-0833.
