August 2020
Mel the Koala would like to welcome everyone back to school! As we prepare for what should be a very unique school year, our PTA is actively working with school staff to find ways we can help navigate the challenges ahead. In the next few weeks, we will be sending out information about our upcoming general PTA meeting, our budget for 2020-21, as well as volunteer and sponsorship opportunities.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support our school and PTA! Our amazing community is the force that drives our mission –
“to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all our Northwoods children.”
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please email us at northwoodspta@gmail.com.

Join the PTA online through our MemberHub store. You can also join and pay by cash or check (check preferred) by returning your completed paper copy of the Northwoods PTA Membership Form.
We have so many plans for special events, activities, and clubs and we need YOUR time and talent to make them happen.
The PTA at Northwoods is one of the best ways parents and extended families can get involved in our school. PTA activities are paid for through our ever growing fundraising efforts, and we’d like to invite you to participate!
