Message from our Eco Team

The following Northwood students have proudly accepted the Waste Free Monday challenge by packing their

lunch in reusable containers. They are a great example of how we can “go green” during lunch.

Kindergarten – Jeet Thakkar, Selah Dahl, and Emma Levin First Grade – Romeo Vieria, Blakely Elstad, Eli Powell, Shaarav Parikh, Sahasra Annabathula, Dani Jimenez, Kiera Conlan, Liam Conlan, Huck Belknap, Sophie Haber, Shilo Shmerling, and Stella Giunta

This week 3rd graders had the opportunity to learn more

about heat energy when High Touch – High Tech visited

school. They took part in a series of hands on experiments

where they measured temperatures and saw heat

changes. They tested a variety of materials to determine

which were good insulators and conductors. A radiometer was the highlight of the session as

students noticed how it could be used to detect radiant energy.
