Mark your calendars for a really big event, our Black and Gold Gala to be held at the Woodlands Marriott on March 6, 2010. This year our theme is “Under Construction” as we go about raising funds for some really exciting projects.
FORE!
The elementary Christian Leadership Council (TGIFriday club) organized a used clothing drive the last week of October. Homerooms were competing to win a free uniform day, so families dug deep into their closets and sent bags of items to share with Houston area residents who aren't as blessed. 
It has been an incredible beginning to a school year that will be full of many exciting experiences, developments, and discoveries. Our theme this year is, "With Everything". One of the areas that we will experience, develop, and discover more about is how much Jesus loves us and how we are to love Him with everything we are, especially through loving each other. We believe this is the highest attribute that we could have as a Christian school. This characteristic lays a strong foundation for all other things to be built.
PTO is off to an exciting start in 2009. Prior to the school year beginning, the group worked to contact all of our new Northland families. At the secondary campus, we hosted new student ice cream socials on locker check-in day. While at the elementary campus, parents attended a Boo-Hoo/Ya-Hoo Brunch on the first day (PTO reps pictured at right).
Fall Fundraisers include an Otis Spunkmeyer Cookie Sale, beginning on September 15th at the secondary campus. This year we are excited to announce the return of the favorite Northland tradition of having cookie bakers and sellers on campus twice a week. At the elementary campus, PTO will be selling Great American giftwrap and continuing the popular Scrips Program. 
Last year Northland took steps to make the IMPACT Concussion Test mandatory for all students wishing to be in athletics.
The Junior Class will be painting personalized Cougar Paws on the concrete around the Secondary Campus for the 2009-10 school year.
