The Weekly Falcon

Northwood Hills Elementary School

Mackie Kazdoy, principal


I am proud to announce that we have been awarded 3 Gold Performance Awards from the Texas Education Agency for 2007. NHE won awards for Commended performance in the areas of Math, Writing and Science. Congratulations to our students and teachers on so much hard work!
5th graders had a wonderful 3 days at Sky Ranch science camp last week! Thank you to our terrific 5th grade parents who went along as chaperones: Jill Hamilton (A.J.’s and Ashley’s mom), Steve Baxter (Andrew and Brennan’s dad), Stacy Birkhold (Emma’s mom),Juanita Gibson (Belisha and Jonathan’s mom), Donna White (Nevin and Sarah’s mom), Chris Rodgers (Davis, Gray and Bo’s dad), Rhory Mendoza (Thomas’s dad) and Alfredo Cervantes (Jaime and Juilan’s dad). Thanks also to our devoted 5th grade teachers, Ms. Pailes and Ms. Young, for giving up 3 days with their own families so that our 5th graders could go. If teachers and parents couldn’t go, students couldn’t either.
Thank you to Vicki Arrington (Drew and Tyler’s mom) for gift certificates for staff drawings from Potbelly’s. Thanks also to an anonymous friend for the gift certificates to Target.
We had such a fun carnival recently and appreciate so much all of the moms and dads that worked with Jill Hance (Ryan’s mom).
