One of the most significant new additions to the Daily News’ Web site is something that I think will benefit both online users and readers of the Daily News’ print edition. I hope it especially will be of value to all those who have an interest in the Norfolk Public Schools — students, parents, grandparents and many others.
It’s called the Panther Project and it was an idea I first broached to Marlene Uhing, superintendent of schools during the 2008-2009 school year.
Don’t quote me, but here’s basically what I remember suggesting to her: “The Norfolk Public Schools has so many positive things going on throughout the district. And each of the schools has its own Web site, which does a good job. But if you’d be interested in working with the Daily News, we could help share information about the public schools and its students and faculty to many, many more people.”
Northern Hills Elementary School will be hosting an Open House on Sunday May 23rd from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Northern Hills is closing this year after being open for 55 years. Please come and take a walk down memory lane with everyone.
of the weather, the carnival was held at The Devent Center. Everyone there had a great time, there were so many fun things to do!! Thank you PTO for making another wonderful memory for our Northern Hills family!
Northern Hills will be having their annual carnival on Friday, May 7th. It starts at 5:30 and will end at 8:00. 
grade students working on a very interesting science experiment. They have planted radish seeds in different environments and are now waiting to answer some questions they have about what makes a plant grow. Do plants know up from down? How does air affect seed growth? How does water affect seed growth? How does light affect seed growth? These are just a few of their questions. They can’t wait to find out the results!
Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders enjoyed swimming in the pool, while the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders played Volleyball and “Wiggle Worm”. Everyone had a fantastic time!!
lunch on Friday April 16th. Norfolk’s very own “hometown heros” came to have lunch one last time at Northern Hills. Dave from US92 was also on hand to say a few deserving words to our Veterans and the class. Mrs. Blakeman’s classes have enjoyed having the Veterans for lunch every year for 24 years!!! The kids have learned a lot from our Veterans, they feel honored to speak with them and learn about their experiences in the military. 
23rd. Everyone ate dinner together and got to build their very own books. We have some very creative minds at Northern Hills!! Everyone left with a full belly, a one of a kind book, and memories to last a lifetime. Thanks for attending this special event and thank you Ms. Wells for everything you did to make this a great memory for Northern Hills’ kids to cherish forever!!
