Northwood Girl Scouts Junior Troop 2589
Northwood Girl Scout Troop 2589 will be holding two Girl Scout
Cookie Booth Sales. On March 14 from 9 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. we will be
at the Northwood Post Office and at the Town Meeting at Coe Brown.
Our girls are collecting nonperishable food items for the
Northwood Food Pantry and collecting books, new or slightly used in
good condition. Those of you not interested in cookies can always
buy a box for our Troops over seas. Each year Girl Scouts collect
thousands of boxes and with help from the Air National Guard we send
them to NH men and Women over seas.
As always, we thank you for helping us help those in our
community.
See you Saturday.
In February 2009, 23 Allegro Dance
Academy dancers from
New Hampshire, including Northwood Kindergartener, Tatum
McClelland, flew to Walt Disney World,
Florida, for the performance of a lifetime.
The dancers ranged in age from 6-18 and were led by studio director,
Jen McLaughlin and choreographer, Mariclare Pollicelli.
They performed in Downtown Disney on 02/23/09 in a variety of dances all themed around
occupations that they may want to be when they grow up. In addition
to their performance, they were given the opportunity to attend a
workshop sponsored by the Disney dancers
in Epcot. All 23 dancers had family and friends along for support
and fun. Many great memories were made and I know that I speak on
behalf of all of the families when I say that we are so proud of
you, way to go ladies and gentleman!!!
A Message From Esther Asbell, Principal Of Northwood School
I have some exciting news to share with all of you about Northwood School.
In November of this year
Northwood
School formally
applied for an ”EDies” award. This is an award granted by the New
Hampshire Excellence in Education organization. This is a
highly competitive process and the first step is to fill out an
application for review by the “EDies” Board. If the
application is strong enough the “EDies” Board requests that the
school comes to them and makes a presentation. Northwood School made the first cut and a panel of
staff and parents made a presentation in early February. After
presentations are made, the “EDies” organization decides if your
school is in the final running for an award. If so, the panel then
visits the school. I AM DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT
NORTHWOOD
SCHOOL HAS MADE THE FINAL
CUT AND IS ONE OF THE FEW K-8 SCHOOLS UP FOR THIS AWARD!! The
panel will be coming to our school on March 11, 2009 for a visit. It is a
true honor for our school to have made it this far in the process.
Snowshoe Club At Northwood School
Snowshoe Club at
Northwood
School was a big success.
We had 40 students in grades K-4 that took part in the after school
club. Mrs.
Gasowski wants to thank the parent
and staff volunteers who helped students learn about snowshoeing
while having fun. They were: Mrs.
Thoms,
Mrs. Canfield, Mrs. Peverly, Mrs. Hampl,
Mrs.
Lamontage, and Mrs. Magnusson.
Jump Rope for Heart
March 25, 2:15-3:45
Kick off for our annual American Heart Association fundraising
event, JUMP ROPE FOR HEART is underway at
Northwood
School. For many
years our school has taken part in this service project because this
organization helps our nation’s citizens learn about healthy
lifestyles and how to avoid the problems caused by overeating,
inactivity and poor food choices. Anyone in our school can
take part in this fundraiser by collecting donations for the
American Heart Association or sponsoring a jumper coming to the
after school jump rope event on Wednesday, March 25. If you
want to participate or have questions contact Mrs. Gasowski
at the school.
A special Family Fun Night is planned for Friday, March 13 from
6:00 to 7:30 in the Northwood school gym. YOGA. This event is for
children from Pre-K through grade 5, along with a parent (or
parents). Ruth
from Peace Tree Yoga will be our instructor. If you have a yoga mat,
bring it with you. If not a towel will do, and we do have a few
extra mats. You will be asked to remove your shoes upon entering the
gym, so no need to bring gym shoes for this event. It sounds like
great fun and good exercise. We hope you can join us.
Northwood PTA
Please Join Us For A Night Of Intrigue…
The Northwood
Elementary School Drama Club and the Northwood PTA have partnered in
hosting a murder mystery dinner theater event, The Beauty Pageant.
Have you ever wanted to attend a beauty pageant - watch
the show as it is being developed, see the girls as they prepare for
the competition, pity their mothers as they watch jealously on the
sidelines? Tonight is the night you’ve been waiting for! Your
precious family member (sister, cousin, whatever) is competing for
the grand title of
Miss
Perky Pout
and you’re here to cheer her on. Never underestimate the impact of
crowd approval, so make sure the judges hear you as you support your
“girl”. Unfortunately, beauty pageants also bring out the
worst in some people…so don’t be surprised at some of the
shenanigans being pulled by contestants, their ever-present mothers,
or even the judges, who have their own ulterior motives for being
there.
The performance will take place on Wednesday, April 8, 2009, at the Northwood
Elementary School Cafeteria. Dinner will be served at 5:30 pm and the performance will begin at 6:00 pm. Please order in
advance as seating is limited to accommodate the performance;
contact Jennifer
Boulanger
at
603-942-8944
or [email protected]
for ticket orders or visit the School website and click on Parents
and then PTA. Ticket prices are $10.00 per adult and $5.00 per
child (family maximum of $20.00 when ordered in advance) and all
proceeds will benefit the NES Drama Club.
Please join us…

Letter to the Editor
The elections are over! Regardless of the results,
congratulations to all the candidates and voters who took the time
to participate. Unfortunately this year many of the races were
uncontested. Without discussion and debate, new ideas are not born.
We need to find a way to bring more residents into the process, so
we can improve the results. The Town meeting is Saturday, March 14th
and your opinions are very important. I hope to see you there.
