PAX LEADERS FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER
Holiday Shop Opens December 12th
During the week of December 12th, the PTA will be hosting their annual Holiday Gift Shop. This program is completely voluntary. Overall, the purpose of this program is to help your NF child purchase gifts for family members of their choosing, (i.e. parents, grandparents, siblings, pets, etc.). There are gift tables available for the students to visit during their normally scheduled library time that week. Volunteer parents help your child(ren) make gift recommendations, and no gift is over $5. This is not a fundraiser for the school. No profits are made. This is a service provided to our NF community that people have enjoyed in the past. Volunteer sign-ups and additional information will be forthcoming from PTA after Thanksgiving break.
Squire Supporter of the Month
For the month of November, the NF staff announces the Squire Supporter of the Month...the grandparents of one of our fourth graders, Mason Berger. This is the first time that this honor has been reserved for grandparents. What a great nomination. Here is what one teacher said,
"The Berger grandparents have been around Northfield Elementary for as long as I can remember. Their love and the amount of support for all the grandchildren has been amazing to see over the years, about 15 years I believe- first with Matt, then Lauren and now finishing their time at Northfield with Mason. They have been an awesome "bonus" to have here at Northfield."

- Sickness: Coming back from Thanksgiving Break it appears as though sickness has increased for both students and staff. Whether Covid, the flu, or general cold-like symptoms, we've entered the illness season. Please review the link above which shares the district's expectations when a child is unable to attend school.
