I hope you are all having an enjoyable weekend. Today, students and staff from Northley squared off in a new Fox 29 trivia game show called The ClassH-Room. We had a wonderful time and all the participants did a great job. While I would like to tell you the outcome, you'll have to wait to watch the episodes to see who won. We will be receiving airing dates as soon as we receive them from the show. You can also follow updates on twitter @NorthleyMS, @TheClassHRoom, and @MrRichCurtis.
Northley's Fall Athletic season is hear! Next week begins our first round of games. Please see the link below for up-to-the-minute changes to games and start times. The weather for the week might impact the games, so please keep the link handy and follow Ms. Genovese on Twitter @NorthleySports.
Throughout the year, I will provide stories or information on hot topics that impact both parents and students. The first topic is related to Vaping and Juuls. There is a quick read provided by Holcomb Behavioral Health System. Additionally, there is information on an upcoming lecture for parents on the topic.
Our PTL is off and running. They have many activities planned for the year, but are in need of your assistance. Take a look below for opportunities to help. The annual Haunted Hallway for 6th and 7th graders is coming up quick. If you would like to help set up or create your own scene, please contact Katelyn Riggins at Kbug103@yahoo.com.
Have a wonderful weekend,
