Thanks to the incredible generosity of our school community — and especially the funds raised through our annual Fun Run — the PTA is excited to offer a variety of cultural assemblies for our students!
Upcoming Assemblies:
Author Visit — March 10, 2026
In celebration of Reading Month, we are thrilled to welcome Maria Dismondy to Northwood!
Maria Dismondy is an award-winning children’s book author known for her uplifting stories that focus on kindness, courage, empathy, and the importance of being yourself. Her popular titles, Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun and The Juice Box Bully, have inspired children around the world to make positive choices and celebrate what makes them unique.
During her visit, students will have the opportunity to learn about the entire process of writing a book — from the very first idea to the final published copy. Maria will also share valuable lessons she has learned along her journey as an author, encouraging young writers to dream big and persevere.
Wonders of Michigan Assembly — April 14, 2026
The Magical Wonders of Michigan assembly brings learning to life with laughter, amazement, and plenty of state pride! Magical entertainer Eugene Clark takes students on an interactive journey through Michigan’s geography, history, and people using magic, humor, and colorful visual props. From the Great Lakes and early French settlers to modern-day cities and government, students discover what makes Michigan unique.
With the help of student volunteers, the 45-minute program explores Michigan’s agriculture, including apples, cherries, and honey, as well as the state flower, animal, and rock. A favorite moment features students creating a magical snow storm while learning about Michigan’s four seasons.
