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
