The 2010-11 school year begins

"Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them."
- Ann Landers

Students are presented with opportunities every day- all of us are. Opportunities come disguised in many different ways. It is important, as parents, to help children see the importance in taking advantage of new opportunities. In middle school, there may be more opportunities for your child to participate in after school activities than he or she has previously had.

Here are some of the many opportunities available to students here at Northview Middle School:

-Music: Band, Chorus, Orchestra

-Athletics: 11 sports (students must be in grades 7 or 8)

-International Club: all grades

-Photography Club: all grades

-Student Council: all grades

-Technology Student Association: all grades

-Battle of the Books: all grades

-Math Counts: all grades

Your child may be a little scared and worried, maybe even a little shy. He or she may be hesitant in joining a new group. Remember, however, that we all have to take risks. These risks often reap huge rewards. Parents can help their students realize the benefits of participating when opportunity knocks.

If we can help you with supplying more information about these opportunities, please give us a call. Welcome to the 2010-11 school year.
