Dear Huskie Community,
We had a terrific first full week last week. It was exciting to dive into classes, activities and sports.
The Freshmen Connect event on Friday was a big success. The activities provided freshmen with some motivating words, preview of extracurricular activities, connection with peers and mentors, and plenty of fun. Providing each student with a strong sense of belonging at North is a goal of ours and important to student success. We hope this event will help students feel comfortable at NNHS and ready to learn and be successful in their coursework.
Friday's Blue and Orange night, capped off with the 80's Dance, and Saturday's murder mystery were a great way to kick-off the fall athletic and performing arts seasons. Good luck to all of our fall athletes and performers as they get their seasons underway.
As always, Go Huskies!
Sincerely,
Jay Wachtel
