Good evening Mariner Families,

My name is Vincent Taylor and here is your Wednesday Night Top 5 Things to know  about upcoming school events.

  1. BIG news everyone! We are less than one week away  from our SOS (Support Our Students) fundraiser! This coming Monday we will hold a Pep Rally in the gym to get everyone excited about SOS. Students will see some silly skits, a relay race, the Northwood Cheerleaders and hear a brief overview of this year’s fundraising event. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for SMART board TVs in every classroom. To learn more about SOS check out our social media pages and our school website. (Ask teachers to add this announcement to their newsletters)
  2. Speaking of our fundraiser: Volunteers are needed for several of the incentive activities being held over the next few weeks for our SOS Fundraiser. Learn details and sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/.../20f0d48afa729a6f94....

There are several other opportunities coming up for Mariner families to pitch in to support our school:

Contribute items needed to treat the staff with goodies at their September staff meeting: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0d48afa729a6f94-staff2

Join us for a PTA Thrift Shop work group session September 18th or 21st: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0d48afa729a6f94-fall2

  1. This coming Friday we will practice our first lockdown. Our teachers will talk to their students ahead of time about why this is important (to keep everyone safe) and where they will go depending on where they are in the school. This will be the only time parents are notified ahead of time for practice lockdowns. 
  1. The Northwood High School Dance Team will be hosting a fall junior dance camp on Saturday, October 22nd from 9am-1:30pm for girls and boys in kindergarten through 8th grade in the NHS gym. The cost of the camp is $45 per student and will include a camp t-shirt, choreography, and a performance for family and friends at the end of the camp session. For more information, students and parents can email me, Ebony Grissett-Delgado, at edelgadogrisset@chatham.k12.nc.us.  They can also visit the Northwood High School website.
