Way to go, Evergreens! We raised $1,660.14 for Minong's Operation Rudolph! The coin counter got a big work out once again this year! There were seven buckets filled with coins that were all counted daily. If you ask one of our Evergreen students, they may explain to you about how the penny wars work and what a sabotage is, as well.

The attached image was created to communicate the updated tax impact relating to the recently passed referendum. The district-wide mill rate will increase .33 cents from $2.98 to $3.31 per $1,000 equalized value, which is much lower than the originally estimated increase of .72 cents per $1,000. Thank you again for supporting our District.

Last week, two Northwood middle school band members traveled to the Shell Lake to work with other area youth in the Lakeside Band on some concert pieces and gain some musical training. They ended their time together performing a concert for the public. Joey Bodo and Aiden Tolene represented Northwood School at the event. On a special side note, Matina Campetti, Northwood Class of 2018, was there, as well. Matina is currently teaching elementary music and middle and high school band & choir in Plum City. She is continuing to make Northwood Proud!
Here are the compiled results of last week's referendum vote. The referendum passed by a little over 51% of the vote. The Northwood School District again is very grateful for the ongoing support from our communities.
