Lia is this week's IB profile student. She has consistently demonstrated her abilities as a performer and a role model, never afraid to take risks.

A big thank you to all the people who made our job fair at the High School this morning such a success. From representatives in the trades, to first responders to the medical field-there were plenty of interesting options for our students to learn about.

Great art and great music for a great cause-that's what Merton Williams' 5 Buy Five is all about. The annual event gives visitors a chance to purchase 5x5 pieces of student art for $5, all while listening to music from the Jazz Ensemble. Proceeds from the event go to the Hilton Cadet Cupboard and the Hilton Food Shelf. Last night's event raised over $400.

Emerson's willingness to help out as much as possible has been noticed by her teachers and fellow students.

We're proud of Jack for helping out and making everyone around him feel better whenever he can!

Earlier this week members of Sources of Strength from the High School visited students at Northwood to talk about the importance of having positive friends with some of our younger Cadets.

It was an epic showdown between our three elementary schools in the Battle of the Books. Teams were quizzed on the content of books they have read over the last few months and go head-to-head in a Jeopardy style tournament.
Congratulations to all three teams on a great performance, Bestie Bunch from Northwood, Book Besties from QUEST and when all was said and done, the Duke of Ducks from Village who came out on top.
The Dukes will go on to compete against other schools in the area in regional competition.
