*Bulldog Spotlight* Giving Thanks
Their might surprise you! Is it the fact that they have had more quality family time over these past long months? Or maybe they are proud of an accomplishment they made in school this year? Send their answer and a photo of their smiling face (feel free to get creative here to incorporate the theme of gratitude) to Mrs. Smith at jsmith@northwoodcs.org.
The most stand-out submissions will be featured in the Bulldog Blast sent out during the last week of November.

Devices are available for pickup on Monday through Friday at the front office from 9am-2pm.
