Hello Northwood Elementary families-

There are several grade level field trips scheduled for May. Field Day is scheduled for May 22nd. Title Reading One School One Book Family Night is May 25th. The school calendar is full of end of the year activities.

Please continue your commitment to ensuring your child finishes the year strong by making sure that your child is in attendance each day, completes assignments and puts forth his/her best efforts on the remainder of assignments and assessments.

Recommended for Grades K-5, but suitable for everyone! No tickets necessary, just arrive! The show is approximately 45 minutes and includes a question and answer session with the performers following the show.

When two strangers arrive in the city of Logos, they call attention to themselves by claiming to be able to make the most magnificent and magical clothing. The Emperor cannot resist this claim! The ensuing silliness can only be sorted out by the most intelligent and sensible person in the empire, a child named Captiosa.

The Emperor's New Clothes is a co-production with LCCC Theatre Department.
