The Weekly Falcon

Northwood Hills Elementary School

Mackie Kazdoy, principal


Many thanks to Kelly Rosenberg (Kenny’s mom) for the Starbucks gift certificates she donated for staff drawings! Ms. Ellis won and will be having a free cup of coffee thanks to Kenny’s mom! I use gift certificates at staff meetings and welcome donations from any place.

Look for the information about this year’s Reflections project in today’s Tuesday folder! The theme this year is “I Can Make a Difference By….” It is very important that students think about and discuss with their parents ways that they can make a difference and improve our world. Please take time to discuss your child’s ideas and encourage them to enter Reflections. Entries are due on Wednesday, October 29.
 
When picking students up in the afternoon, only park on the streets and in the outside lane of the driveway. Please do not park in the inside lane and do not pick up students from the middle, moving lane of traffic. The inside lane (closest to the school) is for drop off and pick up only. The middle lane is for drivers to be able to keep driving. Thank you for your patience as we work together to insure our students’ safety.
