NHS Library Book Drive
BOOKS are HERE and Shelves are Packed!!!
Thank you to all the generous donors who have purchased books or made cash donations to the library to increase the book collection at NHS. The books are arriving, and the shelves are beginning to get packed.
With funding from parents (Book-Drive), PTSA (GiftstoSchool), and an IPSF grant, over 1200 books have been ordered and 857 have been received to date. Students may now check out the books by following the instructions to the link here.
Our appreciation goes to our new librarian, Peter Fatzaun, who has been spearheading the effort to revamp the library this year by adding high-interest young adult novels, graphic novels, manga, and non-fiction titles. It takes a concerted effort to fund and build a library collection and to keep it current and relevant to our student population. Northwood lags the other Irvine high schools in the number of books and titles available for circulation but now we are building on! If you haven’t had a chance to donate a book and would still like to do so, please donate here.
Here are some before & after photos:
Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week (May 3-7)
Around the nation, during the first week of May, we celebrate our educators. Please remember to give a shout-out or a note of gratitude to your teachers and staff. Educators play a vital role in the lives of children. It’s a job that requires lots of patience, understanding, and a lifetime of dedication. For all the hard work and continued effort that our teachers and staff put in every day, it’s only right that we let them know how much they are appreciated!
Dear NHS Staff, THANK YOU for gifting the NHS students with the magic of YOU every day as you provide a supportive, inspiring, and welcoming environment here at Northwood high. -- With gratitude, NHS PTSA
