Let's have some fun with a virtual Spirit Week from March 30 - April 3rd. Post your pictures of students and families dressing up for the day to the Evergreen Storytime Facebook Group page. #NWEvergreens
Happy Friday!
I am going to end the week with a throwback picture from the art room. This photo was taken when these boys were in 8th grade. They all took a try at drawing portraits of eachother. Crazy to think they are seniors now! Stay creative Evergreens!
Greetings from Ms. Sorensen, The art share of the day is a bit of a mystery student. He created this beautiful chalk landscape drawing for Wildlife Art Class. Can anyone guess who he is? Stay creative Evergreens!

NEW DISTRICT HOURS: Hey Northwood Families. We hope everyone is doing well and prepared for the Safer at Home Order that goes into effect tomorrow morning. Due to this new emergency order, the school building will only be open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7 am to 2 pm for essential staff to prepare and deliver meals to families, preserve the school building, and continue finance functions that may need to be done on-site. Please call us during these hours if you have any questions. We wish you well.
Greetings from Ms. Sorensen! The art share of the day was a scratch art created by senior Jessica Peterson for her independent art class. This piece was very time consuming and took a lot of patience! Stay creative Evergreens!
Because of the shutdown of nonessential businesses, RBS is temporarily shut down so our online store is going to be open until April 12.
Happy shopping...Go Big Green🌲🌲
Seniors!
Just a reminder that the local scholarship applications are due by March 31st. You just received an email with links to the applications in Google Forms.
Good Morning from Ms. Sorensen!
My art share of the day was created by senior Annika Vaara. She created this painting for her independent art class. She put a lot of effort into layering and mixing paint to create the Northern Lights effect. Stay creative Evergreens!

A new private Facebook Group has been created for our students to listen and watch stories being read. To join, simply search for Evergreen Storytime on Facebook and request membership.

Northwood families and community members,
There are many unknowns as this time, which can make it difficult for children and adolescents (and even adults) to fully process what is happening across the country and throughout the world. Linked below is some information that might be helpful if you have children at home feeling anxiety or stress around COVID-19 and the impact it is having on our "normal" routines. We are in this together! Stay well!
* If you have a mental health crisis, I urge you to utilize the Washburn County Mental Health Crisis Line @ 1-888-860-0373 or the Douglas County Mental Health Crisis Line @ 715-392-8216, which are both available 24/7/365
*The SAMHSA Disaster Distress Helpline also provides 24/7/365 crisis counseling and support for people experiencing emotional distress related to any natural or human-caused disaster. Call 1-800-985-5990 or text TalkWithUs to 66746 to be connected with a trained crisis counselor.
