The children at Northwood not only did a fabulous job reading lots of books for the Hooked on Books Read-a-Thon, but they also exceeded the 375,000 minutes goal!!! A total of 379,921 minutes were read by our students, and over $10,000 were raised in pledges! Mr. Neidhoefer said he would kiss a fish if the children met or exceeded the goal of 375,000 minutes. Well, that's just what he did! He puckered up and kissed a very smelly, ugly fish! Yuck!

Three cheers for our top readers: Aj E., K; Yahir G., 1st grade; Stephanie G., 2nd grade; Tyler S. 3rd grade; Reem E., 4th grade; Karina N., 5th grade; Mrs. Young, K/1.

Hip, hip, horray for our top earners: Shaelynn S.,1st grade; Calvin B., 3rd; Chelsey G., 4th grade.

Northwood's top earner, raising $330, was Chelsey G., 4th grade. Great job, Chelsey! Enjoy your party for 10 at Rockzilla!

Prizes were distributed at our final RAT assembly, and over 40 children got to "Fish for Dollars" for raising at least $100.

Congratulations to the entire student assembly for taking part in our annual Read-a-Thon!
