The International Thespian Society (ITS), a division of the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA), is pleased to announce the results of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s  participation in the International Thespian Society’s Trick or Treat so Kids Can Eat  program. On October 30 and 31, Thespian Troupe #5976 collected 1002 pounds of canned and dry goods for the Northwood Food Pantry. Trick or Treat so Kids Can Eat is a national community service program for ITS-member schools to collect canned and dry goods for local charities and food banks. Students from Coe- Brown participated in the program, which was organized by senior Lydia DeBenedictis as her senior project. Thousands of pounds of food were collected across the country, giving theatre students the ability to help their local communities. Thank you to all the households that contributed to make this year’s event successful.

 


 

CBNA FFA Students Compete in National

Agricultural Communications Event

 

Pictured from left to right are team members Hailey McLean, Marlee Richardson, Adam Taschereau, Rhiannon Egan and Rebecca Paine.  Agricultural teacher and FFA advisor Sarah Ward, who coached students, is also pictured.


Members of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s Much-To-Do FFA Chapter were one of 33 teams participating in the 2008 National agricultural Communications Career Development Event (CDE).  The competition was held Oct. 22-25, during the 81st National FFA Convention.


Participants in the event were asked to attend a press conference, utilize information gathered in a team activity and complete individual practicum.  Competitors were also tested on their editing and communications skills.  The team placed 22nd in the country with a silver emblem.  In addition, Marlee Richardson took gold, placing first in the country in her individual events; Adam Taschereau, Hailey McLean, and Rebecca Paine took individual silver placings and Rhiannon Egan received a bronze place. Congratulations to them.


The National FFA Agricultural Communications CDE is sponsored by DTN/The Progressive Farmer and the National FFA Foundation.  It is one of 23 different national events that use the fun of competition to connect classroom learning and careers.
The National FFA Organization, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America, is a national youth organization of 507,763 student members – all preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture – as part of 7,439 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.  The National FFA Organization changed to its present name in 1988, in recognition of the growth and diversity of agriculture and agricultural education.  The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.  Visit www.ffa.org for more information.

 


 

Northwood School Updates

From the Nurse’s Office
The nurse is instituting a no nit policy effective 11/12/08. Call 942-5488 and ask for Nurse Shelley with any questions or concerns or to report that your child has nits or lice.


Please let us know if your child has Strep or any other contagious illness.  We will keep names private but will notify the teacher/ parents that Strep (or other) is going around.


LICE ARE GOING AROUND! If your child has an itchy head, please send him/her to the nurse to be checked for lice; many students have a dry scalp with dandruff – but it’s best to rule out any lice. If your child has dandruff, please use dandruff shampoo and massage the scalp gently with it. Mayonnaise or oil massaged into the scalp can also work. Please send your child to see us with any concerns.


Per school board policy, if your child has lice, parents will be notified and child needs to be picked up from school and treated with a lice treatment. Child’s classroom will be checked. Following treatment, the child must be transported to school by the parent/ guardian and brought to the school nurse for assessment before resuming attendance at school. No student will return to school on the bus until approved by the school nurse. (Head Lice Policy # JLCC)


Students come to the nurse looking for clothing and snacks. If you could please help us out by sending in your child’s outgrown shirts, underwear, socks, or sweat pants for nurse’s office supply; that would be fantastic. We especially need upper grade size gym clothes - shorts and pants - no jeans please. If you’d like to donate snacks to the nurse’s office and/or guidance such as: cereal, crackers, granola bars, Nutrigrain bars, rice crispy treats, etc., this would be very helpful, since students often come to us looking for something to eat.


Please donate 1 box of tissues and 1 hand sanitizer to your child’s classroom since cold season is nearly here.


Please let the nurse’s office know if your child takes medications at home on a regular basis, in case there is an emergency - this is for the safety of your child.


Please return any ice/warm packs to our office. Please check backpacks for signed medication forms to be returned to the Nurse. Remember to sneeze/cough into elbow and wash hands often!!


Thank you,
Nurse Shelley & Miss Tammy


Grade 3 News

Grade 3 has been learning about what makes up a community. We have compared cities and towns as well as making posters that describe the importance of supermarkets, banks, police stations, post offices, libraries and fire stations. We have been learning about how the election process works in the United States.   We registered to vote and voted in the school’s Presidential election.  In Science the students learned about air pressure and what High and Low pressure means on a weather map.


In math we have learned about estimating and rounding as well as telling time and place value up to one hundred thousand.


In reading we have been working on comprehension, problem and solution, multiple meaning words and using a diagram.  We have also worked on combining sentences and writing.
Congratulations to 6th graders Veronica Swindell, James Bergeron and Ashley Perron on their winning “Vote” posters!  As part of our election service learning project in Social Studies, and in conjunction with the 8th graders’ school wide election initiative, we held a poster contest to spread the word on the importance of voting and having a say in our democracy.  The winners’ posters will be displayed at the Northwood Town Hall and local businesses.  You can see all the other great posters around our school.  Way to go!


Library
Submitted by:  Melissa Moore
Hispanic Heritage Month, is a national designation that runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. In early October, Grade 2 Library classes enjoyed several books on this theme. Students learned that the word Hispanic is used to describe Spanish-speaking cultures. We discussed Spanish-speaking countries that are U.S. neighbors or share a border with us. We learned that throughout our history, people from Spanish-speaking countries have had an impact on America. In one activity, we examined the many U.S. place names that were borrowed from Spanish. We discovered that Nevada means “snow-capped” in Spanish. Colorado is a Spanish word that means “ruddy” or reddish-brown like the landscape of this state. Other U.S. place names with a Spanish origin are Montana, Florida, and Los Angeles.


This theme led us to read-alouds of several books with Hispanic links. These titles are Mice and Beans, Tomas and the Library Lady, Abuela, Uno, Dos, Tres, and Roberto Clemente –Pride of the Pittsburg Pirates. You can always tell when books are a hit because kids ask to sign them out immediately. Books with multicultural themes serve as windows to experiences that are unfamiliar to us. We enjoyed our time on this topic.


Now more than ever, students need skills to help them become discriminating information consumers. The Internet is a wonderful resource, but students may not immediately recognize the misinformation that turns up on results lists. To encourage, students to use accurate information from reliable resources, several Grade 5 and 6 classes have had library lessons on using online databases from EBSCOhost. One product they offer is Middle Search Plus. This program offers full text articles from over 140 magazines suitable for student researchers. In some cases, there is a three-month delay, before the current issues are posted. However, this online database allows students to access magazine articles that we may not have available through a subscription. Our goal is to make sure students learn to recognize current, accurate, and reliable information from digital and print resources.


School Notes is an Internet management tool that allows teachers to organize links that are perfect matches for their research units. When research is conducted within school notes, the students’ time on task is maximized. They can simply click on the essential research links, and not waste time typing long Internet addresses or sifting through results for their search words. Several Grade 5 classes have utilized this tool for research.

 


 

Judy Joyce has settled in to her new life as a Peace Corps volunteer in St. Lucia and Dominica.

 

Hello friends and neighbors:
I left Northwood on August 27th for the Peace Corps. For the first seven weeks, I was joined by 14 other volunteers in St. Lucia, West Indies for training.


I lived in a home in a banana plantation on a very hilly road on the Eastern coast. The others were scattered all around the island. We met three to four days a week for classes, another day was spent in school teaching and another at a business shadowing.
There wasn’t much free time to explore the island. The beaches are beautiful and the water is crystal clear and warm.


There were so many areas that I was able to assist in my community. I taught adult ed classes, after school homework sessions at my house, helped in the high school and did a business plan for Eco Tourism.


We had our graduation ceremony on October 22nd. I was then flown to Dominica where I will be stationed for the next 27 months.


I’ve been in this beautiful nature island for nearly three weeks. Everything is green. There is very little consumerism. Life is simple. People are very friendly and welcoming.
I am working in the local elementary school, focusing on environmental awareness, helping with community projects and eco tourism.


I would enjoy sharing my adventures with a school. The Peace Corps has a school match program. If any teachers would like to stay in touch I can sign us up. I would send photos and tell stories about what it’s like to be a Peace Corps volunteer and live in Dominca.

Northwood VFW Sponsors Child Safety Program

 

VFW Quartermaster Shannan Brown assists Northwood Officer Zobel in a fingerprinting safety program held at Northwood School. Parents who choose to have their children participate retain the fingerprints and vital information provided in a brochure.
 

Members of the Joseph J. Jeffrey VFW Post 7217 and the Northwood Police Department worked together in a program created for children that everyone involved in hopes will never be used or needed. Children are fingerprinted by local police and the prints are placed in a special brochure provided by the VFW Post. The brochure is designed to serve as a tool for law enforcement if your child should become lost or is a victim of criminal activity. Parents fill out important information in the brochure and the parents retain the brochure with the fingerprints. Should something happen to a child, parents can then turn in the brochure containing the vital information and statistics regarding the child over to the local law enforcement.


The program took place on October 20th at the Northwood Elementary School. The VFW will be conducting another event in the near future for those parents who would like to participate and were not able to take advantage of the first program. For more information please contact Post Quartermaster Shannan F. Brown at 942-8218.
