Northside Middle School has been around for 50 years. Off and on throughout the years, the students have published a school newspaper called The Reflector. In the early days of Northside, students used typewriters to write their stories and literally cut and paste the stories onto paper so that the newspaper could be copied and distributed. Today, technology has allowed the students to publish a newspaper for the whole world to see. Isn’t technology great?
We are so fortunate to have a parent volunteer, Dr. Robert Stevenson, a Lander University Mass Communications professor, and Mrs. Lynn Waldron, a Northside sixth grade teacher, who are willing to help our students in publishing a monthly newspaper. Take a peek and tell us what you think about their first issue for the 2007-2008 school year.

It has been a very busy month here at Northside. The nine weeks period is over and teachers have been holding conferences with parents on the progress of students. We are hearing wonderful things about our students. This month has also shown us how wonderful our students and parents are with raising money for our school and for the community through the PTO cookie dough sales, United Way spirit links sales and Mr. Knight and Miss Northside. Additionally, there have been a variety of fun activities held this month: football and volleyball games, step team, dance team, and cheerleader practices, the book fair in the media center, spirit week, and student clubs. What have you participated in this month? Which activity did you enjoy participating in?

School has been in session for eight days and it is already evident that a lot of things are taking in place in the classrooms. As we walk the halls, visit classrooms, talk with teachers, students and parents, and listen to the interactions between the students and teachers, it appears that we are going to have a great year. What do you think? What are your expectations for this year? Are you as excited about the possibilities for this year as we are?
