Thank you to the Northern Lights Building Company for the spiffy new staff shirts! We look good!


Miss B was absent on Friday during the pie in the face event so she took her turn yesterday morning. Thanks for being a good sport, Miss B!


The NLCS Student Council raised $106 for autism awareness by holding a "Pie In The Face" drawing. Students bought tickets for the chance to pie select students and staff. Looks like some sticky fun.







Please help us spread the word. We need one teacher, two special education case managers, and a custodian for next school year. We are also, always looking for paras and substitute teachers. If you know someone who would be a good fit, please refer them to our website for more details.

Happy Birthday!
Karen's advisory came to school yesterday and discovered their 2 chinchillas were now 4 chinchillas. They sure are cute!


Time to get caught up on some posts.
Donna took a group of students to Wolf Ridge last week for a three day stay. If anyone remembers, that was right in the middle of the snowstorm. Looks like they made the best of it and had a good time.








Jonatha Brooke & Rebecca Arons sharing their inspirational music and life stories with our students.
The duo will be performing tonight at the Reif Center @ 7pm



NLCS families and students, due to the overnight weather, we will have a 2 hour delayed start tomorrow to allow the plows to clear the roads. Please look for your bus 2 hours later than your normal pick up time. Thank you.


Some NLCS students spent the afternoon at The Reif listening to Ensamble 7/4 - a Venezuelan band currently based in Florida, but brave enough to visit northern MN during our erratic spring weather.



Just a quick reminder to students and guardians that the annual MCA tests will be Tues-Thurs next week. Please have a healthy and relaxing weekend so we can give it our best effort next week. Thank you.

Due to the current winter storm that is set to last all day tomorrow - NLCS will be having an E-Learning Day on Wednesday - April 5th.

A preview of some of the science fair projects that will be on display tonight. The students did a practice run with their peers yesterday.






Just trying to get caught up on some postings...
The NLCS band participated in the 49th annual Head of the Lake Jazz Festival last Saturday (3/18/23).







We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow evening for our spring Science Fair/Open House. Please bring family and friends. We will be serving taco-in-a-bag and the NLCS band will play at 5:30. Starts at 4:30 and goes to 7:00. Stop by anytime.
