Happy first week of school!

There's one thing we're asking of every Northwoods family this year, and it takes two minutes:

Sign up for your annual PTA membership.

https://northwoods.givebacks.com/shop

Here's what it funds:
• The school garden
• Run Club
• Book Club
• The yearbook
• Family events
• Campus improvements
• The extra supplies that show up in classrooms when a teacher runs short

None of it is in the school's budget. All of it is PTA, and the PTA runs on membership.

Two minutes supports our kids and teachers this school year.

Bonus: If you join at the "Koalaty" level now through September 20, you will be automatically entered to win a free 30 minute photo session with a local photographer.

Thank you for your generosity!

Hey Northwoods community, got a sec?

Our garden is an amazing place. Did you know it's one of the best school gardens in the state? It is a treasure to our school, a place where thousands of young children learned how to grow fruits and veggies, herbs and flowers.

But the garden can't happen without volunteers. We've searched high and low for someone to step into the garden lead position. No luck.

Please take a moment to consider the people in your life who might consider taking on this crucial role. Maybe it's a grandparent, neighbor, or friend... Or maybe it's you!

You can run the garden program however you'd like, and you have several volunteers ready to help take on your vision.
