FROM SUPT MIKE PASKEWICZ:

May 9, 2012,

Dear Parents, Family Members, Community Members, Students, and Staff:

Thank you for your careful consideration of the Bond Proposal.  As a result, the proposal was approved by voters.  While this is a very difficult economic time for many in our community, your vision for the future of Northview carried the vote.

Voters did a very detailed review of the components of the bond proposal, assessed the economic impact on their families and businesses and made an informed vote.  Now we engage in the project planning process and I assure you we will share the timelines with the entire community.  You will be able to track our progress at www.nvps.net.

Attention, Bridge Card holders! Double Up Food Bucks will be back at farmers' markets in June.

When you use your Bridge Card at a participating farmers' market, the Double Up Food Bucks program matches you dollar for dollar with bonus funds - up to $20 - that you can use in the market to buy more fresh, Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables. It's that simple - spend up to $20 on your Bridge Card at the market, and you'll get up to $20 more, free, to spend on healthy, local foods.

Visit www.doubleupfoodbucks.org, call toll-free 1-866-586-2796, or just visit your favorite market starting in June!

The market closest to Northview is the Plainfield Township Farmer's Market (Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 12 - October 18 from 2 - 7 p.m.).

Dear Families, Community Members, Staff, and Students,

We Are Northview. These three simply elegant words have a deep meaning in our community. Our students continue to demonstrate the behaviors associated with success because we have a deep emotional and spiritual bond amongst students, families, staff members, and the broader community who may not have children in our schools. We have evidence that this partnership is working in Northview.

Recently, I had the honor of speaking to 49 students who were inducted into the Northview High School National Honor Society. Over 150 family members were in attendance to support these fine young people. The students were selected for this honor because they exhibited the behaviors associated with Scholarship, Service, Leadership and Character. These are the same characteristics stressed for all Northview students and our students are successful because of your support.
