What an amazing day we had today! We held an amazing fall pep rally. We had a special appearance by members of the 2018 Division II Champion West Chester University Baseball team in attendance to talk about a special member of their program. Their bat boy has been an inspiration to them for many years. Though he has downs syndrome, he is a constant fixture at games. He helps them SOAR to greater heights and a cornerstone of the program. Their message is well aligned to the theme of our 1 book 1 school selection SOAR. It was a perfect real life example of overcoming challenges in life. There were danceoff's between the administrators, the students, and the baseball players. The student matched their hitting prowess against that of the Div II Champs. And there was a special appearance by a special E-A-G-L-E. "Fly Fowler Fly"
The ClassH-Room has selected Northley to be their debut episode. We will be live on Fox 29's Good Day Philly morning show at 9:15 am on Monday to promote the noon airing of the episode. If you tune in to Fox 29 at noon, you will be able to see our 7th grade students take on Mrs. Armbruster, Mrs. Mingey, and Mrs. Taylor. Who do you think will win? It's anyone's game!!! Additionally, a film crew will be on site as our 7th grade views the episode at noon. That footage will be aired later in the day during their news hours.
We are entering the 5th week of school. Please take a moment to click on this link to the HOME ACCESS CENTER to check out your child's grades. If you have any questions about their grades or how to gain access, please reach out to the office at your convenience. One are of note for English Language Arts Grades. With us going to a block schedule for ELA in 6th, 7th, and 8th core level, there will be only one grade for the two periods. You will see grades for only the first of the two periods. It is not an error but how the program displays the grade.
We have had a number of outdoor sporting events cancelled this week due to poor field conditions and weather. We will be rescheduling those games and hope both the weather and field improve greatly over the next few days. Please take a look at the athletic link below for all the up-to-the-minute changes.
Don't forget to sign up for Twitter and follow all your child's teachers, athletics, clubs, and administrators to see all the amazing things going on at Northley.
