Happy Halloween!

Our K-5 students will walk in our annual Halloween parade on Thursday, October 31, at

If it is raining, you may find a seat in the gym.  All parents and younger siblings are welcome to watch.  As always, please make sure your child’s costume is appropriate for school—no masks, headdresses, blood/guts/gore, or other over-the-top scary costumes. Please keep all accessories at home.

Need a grocery bag? Have an extra one?OLV’s 6th grade Girl Scouts worked towards a

badge called “BREATHE” by building a crate to hold still usable  paper grocery bags for the downtown Northville Kroger store.

This way, people have an option if they forget their reusable bags.   This is a trial program until Thanksgiving, so please recycle your usable paper bags (any brand) to the crate and if you forgot a reusable bag use one from the crate. Help make this a permanent program! Help Northville stay Green!
