A group of 4th graders at Ridge Wood Elementary learned about petitions. They decided to create their own for STRAWBERRY MILK.

The kids turned in their signed petitions and persuasive essays to Ms. Solensky and the lunch service director for their thoughts. The school has been selected to pilot the strawberry milk at lunch. If it's a hit, then all NPS schools will offer strawberry milk as an option next school year.

More than 600 Northville Public School staff members filed into the Northville High School auditorium for this year's staff Welcome Back event.

Each school sat together donning their school apparel. Our new Superintendent, Dr. RJ Webber, filled the room with excitement, inspiration, and gratitude. Dr. Webber recognized those staff members who have worked for more than 20 years and beyond. And then there's our high school band director who has been teaching for 49 years!

The Northville Educational Foundation shared some exciting updates to their Innovative Grants Program, Staff Giving, and Thank a Staff Campaign, which will be shared publicly soon.

The highlight of the event was when a group of our students took the stage to conduct a gratitude circle, where they shared what they are grateful for here at NPS. A perfect pull at the heart strings! Moments of laughter and tears. This is our WHY! They are our why!

After an inspiring Welcome Back session, it ended on a high note with the band playing the school fight song. We're ready to make 2022-23 school year the best year yet! We're ready for you students! Let's make it a great year!

3:11 NHS First Inclusion Week Recap Featured

During the week of Valentine’s Day in 2022, Northville High School hosted its first ever Inclusion Week. The week highlighted and celebrated the progress NHS has made in providing a supportive atmosphere to an increasingly diverse student population.

Last year, NHS was selected as a Special Olympics National Banner Unified Champion School. This recognition means NHS demonstrates commitment to inclusion by meeting 10 national standards of excellence.

The first day of Inclusion Week, students wore red for love and inclusion. During lunch, students flocked to the inclusion table to sign unity banners, pledging to spread the word inclusion.

Tuesday was pajama day! Students and staff were able to buy unified wrist bands and stickers. All proceeds went toward the school’s polar plunge for Special Olympics of Michigan.

On Wednesday, students and staff were encouraged to show their light by wearing neon. During seminar, a Sparkle video (watch entire video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owsywVDwPfs) was shown featuring Malachi Baughman, who has autism. Malachi recently started handing out handmade notes of inspiration to random students at school, he calls it “sparkle spread”. The video encouraged other students to join Malachi in spreading sparkle. At lunch, jars were set out with staff members names on them. Students dropped money into the jars to vote for which staff members should participate in the polar plunge.

Thursday, was white out day to support the Special Olympics Polar Plunge. During each of the lunches, players of the girls, boys, and unified basketball teams were announced. The mini-pep rally got the kids hyped for Friday night’s big games.

Despite a snow day on Friday, the Unified basketball game was still able to take place. The Mustangs played tough and had a blast playing at home against Novi. After the game, Special Olympics Michigan presented Northville High School with a National Unified Champion School banner.

The following week, several staff members were freezing for a reason as they took the plunge for Special Olympics. The school raised more than $8,000!!

A successful first Inclusion Week is in the books, with many more to come!
