Winter Holiday Fun

Please note the PJ day on the first day of spirit week is a Student Council fundraiser and requires a $1 donation to participate. The activities for the rest of the week do not require a donation.

From the Assistant Principal's Desk


Twas the week before the break and at Northwood school

The kids were excited, the teachers stayed cool


The assignments were hung by the Smartboard with care

In cubbies were mittens, hats, and jackets to wear


The kids were making projects with glitter galore

While Mr. Ballou sighed “GLITTER? please no more!”


While Heather and Jackie served up the meals

The hallways were filled with holiday feels


The kindergartners are walking with marshmallow toes

While wishing and hoping that it soon snows


Ms. Hashem’s band kids were tuned up just right

Their winter concert was awesome, it was truly out of sight


Nova was snuggled all tight on her bed 

While visions of doggie treats danced in her head


And on Friday afternoon when the final bell rings

Relaxation and serenity 12:30pm will bring


As the busses and the cars rolled out of sight

The teachers exclaimed, “Happy winter break to all, we’re going to bed…Good Night!”


I wish all of our kids, caregivers, and staff a restful and joyous winter break.

- Mr. Drolet
