From Dr. Gruman

Dear Northwest Families,


A big thank you to our PTSA and all of our parent volunteers for hosting an amazing After Prom for our students! They had a great time! This evening was only possible because of the hard work of our PTSA After Prom committee and our community support. What a wonderful Northwest tradition!


Have a wonderful week!


All the best,

Dr. Lisa Gruman
