Announces Results Of “Trick Or Treat So Kids Can EAT” Food Drive
The
International Thespian Society (ITS), a division of the Educational
Theatre Association (EdTA), is pleased to announce the results of
Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s participation in the International
Thespian Society’s Trick or Treat so Kids Can Eat program. On October
30 and 31, Thespian Troupe #5976 collected 1002 pounds of canned and dry
goods for the Northwood Food Pantry. Trick or Treat so Kids Can Eat is a
national community service program for ITS-member schools to collect
canned and dry goods for local charities and food banks. Students from
Coe- Brown participated in the program, which was organized by senior
Lydia DeBenedictis as her senior project. Thousands of pounds of food
were collected across the country, giving theatre students the ability
to help their local communities. Thank you to all the households that
contributed to make this year’s event successful.

Taschereau, Rhiannon Egan and Rebecca Paine. Agricultural teacher and
FFA advisor Sarah Ward, who coached students, is also pictured.
Members of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s Much-To-Do FFA Chapter were one
of 33 teams participating in the 2008 National agricultural
Communications Career Development Event (CDE). The competition was held
Oct. 22-25, during the 81st National FFA Convention.
Participants in the event were asked to attend a press conference,
utilize information gathered in a team activity and complete individual
practicum. Competitors were also tested on their editing and
communications skills. The team placed 22nd in the country with a
silver emblem. In addition, Marlee Richardson took gold, placing first
in the country in her individual events; Adam Taschereau, Hailey McLean,
and Rebecca Paine took individual silver placings and Rhiannon Egan
received a bronze place. Congratulations to them.
The National FFA Agricultural Communications CDE is sponsored by DTN/The
Progressive Farmer and the National FFA Foundation. It is one of 23
different national events that use the fun of competition to connect
classroom learning and careers.
The National FFA Organization, formerly known as the Future Farmers of
America, is a national youth organization of 507,763 student members –
all preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and
technology of agriculture – as part of 7,439 local FFA chapters in all
50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The National FFA
Organization changed to its present name in 1988, in recognition of the
growth and diversity of agriculture and agricultural education. The FFA
mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by
developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and
career success through agricultural education. Visit

School Updates From the Nurse’s Office
The nurse is instituting a no nit policy effective 11/12/08. Call
942-5488 and ask for Nurse Shelley with any questions or concerns or to
report that your child has nits or lice.
Please let us know if your child has Strep or any other contagious
illness. We will keep names private but will notify the teacher/
parents that Strep (or other) is going around.
LICE ARE GOING AROUND! If your child has an itchy head, please send
him/her to the nurse to be checked for lice; many students have a dry
scalp with dandruff – but it’s best to rule out any lice. If your child
has dandruff, please use dandruff shampoo and massage the scalp gently
with it. Mayonnaise or oil massaged into the scalp can also work. Please
send your child to see us with any concerns.
Per school board policy, if your child has lice, parents will be
notified and child needs to be picked up from school and treated with a
lice treatment. Child’s classroom will be checked. Following treatment,
the child must be transported to school by the parent/ guardian and
brought to the school nurse for assessment before resuming attendance at
school. No student will return to school on the bus until approved by
the school nurse. (Head Lice Policy # JLCC)
Students come to the nurse looking for clothing and snacks. If you could
please help us out by sending in your child’s outgrown shirts,
underwear, socks, or sweat pants for nurse’s office supply; that would
be fantastic. We especially need upper grade size gym clothes - shorts
and pants - no jeans please. If you’d like to donate snacks to the
nurse’s office and/or guidance such as: cereal, crackers, granola bars,
Nutrigrain bars, rice crispy treats, etc., this would be very helpful,
since students often come to us looking for something to eat.
Please donate 1 box of tissues and 1 hand sanitizer to your child’s
classroom since cold season is nearly here.
Please let the nurse’s office know if your child takes medications at
home on a regular basis, in case there is an emergency - this is for the
safety of your child.
Please return any ice/warm packs to our office. Please check backpacks
for signed medication forms to be returned to the Nurse. Remember to
sneeze/cough into elbow and wash hands often!!
Thank you,
Nurse Shelley &
Miss Tammy
Grade 3 News
Grade 3 has been learning about what makes up a community. We have
compared cities and towns as well as making posters that describe the
importance of supermarkets, banks, police stations, post offices,
libraries and fire stations. We have been learning about how the
election process works in the United States. We registered to vote and
voted in the school’s Presidential election. In Science the students
learned about air pressure and what High and Low pressure means on a
weather map.
In math we have learned about estimating and rounding as well as telling
time and place value up to one hundred thousand.
In reading we have been working on comprehension, problem and solution,
multiple meaning words and using a diagram. We have also worked on
combining sentences and writing.
Congratulations to 6th graders Veronica Swindell, James Bergeron and
Ashley Perron on their winning “Vote” posters! As part of our election
service learning project in Social Studies, and in conjunction with the
8th graders’ school wide election initiative, we held a poster contest
to spread the word on the importance of voting and having a say in our
democracy. The winners’ posters will be displayed at the Northwood Town
Hall and local businesses. You can see all the other great posters
around our school. Way to go!
Library
Submitted by:
Melissa Moore
Hispanic Heritage Month, is a national designation that runs from Sept.
15 to Oct. 15. In early October, Grade 2 Library classes enjoyed several
books on this theme. Students learned that the word Hispanic is used to
describe Spanish-speaking cultures. We discussed Spanish-speaking
countries that are U.S. neighbors or share a border with us. We learned
that throughout our history, people from Spanish-speaking countries have
had an impact on America. In one activity, we examined the many U.S.
place names that were borrowed from Spanish. We discovered that Nevada
means “snow-capped” in Spanish. Colorado is a Spanish word that means
“ruddy” or reddish-brown like the landscape of this state. Other U.S.
place names with a Spanish origin are Montana, Florida, and Los Angeles.
This theme led us to read-alouds of several books with Hispanic links.
These titles are Mice and Beans, Tomas and the Library Lady, Abuela, Uno,
Dos, Tres, and Roberto Clemente –Pride of the Pittsburg Pirates. You can
always tell when books are a hit because kids ask to sign them out
immediately. Books with multicultural themes serve as windows to
experiences that are unfamiliar to us. We enjoyed our time on this
topic.
Now more than ever, students need skills to help them become
discriminating information consumers. The Internet is a wonderful
resource, but students may not immediately recognize the misinformation
that turns up on results lists. To encourage, students to use accurate
information from reliable resources, several Grade 5 and 6 classes have
had library lessons on using online databases from EBSCOhost. One
product they offer is Middle Search Plus. This program offers full text
articles from over 140 magazines suitable for student researchers. In
some cases, there is a three-month delay, before the current issues are
posted. However, this online database allows students to access magazine
articles that we may not have available through a subscription. Our goal
is to make sure students learn to recognize current, accurate, and
reliable information from digital and print resources.
School Notes is an Internet management tool that allows teachers to
organize links that are perfect matches for their research units. When
research is conducted within school notes, the students’ time on task is
maximized. They can simply click on the essential research links, and
not waste time typing long Internet addresses or sifting through results
for their search words. Several Grade 5 classes have utilized this tool
for research.
Judy Joyce
has settled in to her new life as a Peace Corps volunteer in St. Lucia
and Dominica.
Hello friends
and neighbors:
I left Northwood on August 27th for the Peace Corps. For the first seven
weeks, I was joined by 14 other volunteers in St. Lucia, West Indies for
training.
I lived in a home in a banana plantation on a very hilly road on the
Eastern coast. The others were scattered all around the island. We met
three to four days a week for classes, another day was spent in school
teaching and another at a business shadowing.
There wasn’t much free time to explore the island. The beaches are
beautiful and the water is crystal clear and warm.
There were so many areas that I was able to assist in my community. I
taught adult ed classes, after school homework sessions at my house,
helped in the high school and did a business plan for Eco Tourism.
We had our graduation ceremony on October 22nd. I was then flown to
Dominica where I will be stationed for the next 27 months.
I’ve been in this beautiful nature island for nearly three weeks.
Everything is green. There is very little consumerism. Life is simple.
People are very friendly and welcoming.
I am working in the local elementary school, focusing on environmental
awareness, helping with community projects and eco tourism.
I would enjoy sharing my adventures with a school. The Peace Corps has a
school match program. If any teachers would like to stay in touch I can
sign us up. I would send photos and tell stories about what it’s like to
be a Peace Corps volunteer and live in Dominca.

Northwood VFW
Sponsors Child Safety Program
VFW
Quartermaster Shannan Brown assists Northwood Officer Zobel in a
fingerprinting safety program held at Northwood School. Parents who
choose to have their children participate retain the fingerprints and
vital information provided in a brochure.
Members of the Joseph J. Jeffrey VFW Post 7217 and the Northwood Police
Department worked together in a program created for children that
everyone involved in hopes will never be used or needed. Children are
fingerprinted by local police and the prints are placed in a special
brochure provided by the VFW Post. The brochure is designed to serve as
a tool for law enforcement if your child should become lost or is a
victim of criminal activity. Parents fill out important information in
the brochure and the parents retain the brochure with the fingerprints.
Should something happen to a child, parents can then turn in the
brochure containing the vital information and statistics regarding the
child over to the local law enforcement.
The program took place on October 20th at the Northwood Elementary
School. The VFW will be conducting another event in the near future for
those parents who would like to participate and were not able to take
advantage of the first program. For more information please contact Post
Quartermaster Shannan F. Brown at 942-8218.
