Erin McBride’s kindergarten class at Northwood knows a thing or two about Australia! On Friday, they celebrated Australia Day by performing Australian songs for family and friends and listening to well wishes from many of the people their teacher knows from her six years teaching in Australia and one year teaching in New Zealand.
McBride lived all over Australia working as a substitute teacher and even making sausages on a pig farm! She then moved to New Zealand for a year where she taught grades 7 and 8. She returned to Melbourne just as the pandemic started and began online tutoring. As much as she loved living “down under,” McBride said she missed her family and decided to move back to Rochester. This is her first year teaching at Northwood.
After their performance, the students returned to their classroom with their family members where they colored Australian animal pictures, tasted vegemite, and took photos in front of the many beautiful pictures of Australia and New Zealand that decorate their classroom.
Congratulations to the following young musicians who participated in Solo Festival this past weekend and were selected to participate in the All-County Band/Orchestra in March!

They created virtual museums, and two- and three-dimensional displays to illustrate the clothing, beliefs, homes, calendar, food, traditions, and creations of these ancient civilizations, and shared what they learned with their guests.
The Northwood VEPTO organized an "Elf Shelf" so students can shop for their loved ones this holiday season. Volunteers not only set out many items for the students to choose from and helped them shop, but decorated the stage with balloons, snowmen and wintery scenes. Even the Grinch showed up!
