Mrs. Coffin and student teacher Mrs. Groninger have their 3rd 
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!
Way to “grow” 3rd grade!!!
Northern Hills’ students went to the YMCA on Friday April 30th.
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!!
Mrs. Blakeman’s 5th grade class had some very special guests for 
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.
Thank you Veterans!!!
Don’t forget your swimsuits and towels on April 30th! Northern Hills’ students will be going to the YMCA for a day of fun in the swimming pool!
Northern Hills had a great turn-out for Build-A-Book night March 
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!!
Mrs. Blakeman’s 5th graders went to “Water Daze” March 17th at Northeast Community College. They learned about the importance of preserving our water supply now. They participated in many fun activities while they were there. Everyone’s favorite was the water rockets, but they also got to make “recycled pizzas”.
It was a great learning experience!!
The Senior High Show Choir and Jazz Band performed at Northern Hills on March 18th. We all enjoyed the singing and dancing! Northern Hills kids can’t wait to be a part of this fun activity when they get older!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!!
