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.

The Reflector November 2007

We had a very successful PTO Open House this evening. It was nice to see the large turn out of parents and students and to hear the compliments of our new building. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of parents and students. Our PTO has also been working hard to support the students and teachers through various activities. Have you joined the PTO yet? Have you signed up to help with some of the PTO committees? Have you purchased cookie dough from a Northside student yet? Did you see the Northside t-shirts on sale tonight? The Knight on the back of the t-shirt is amazing.  Open House and PTO are an excellent to ways for the teachers, staff, parents and students to begin community building for the school year. It looks as though we are off to a great start in developing our community here at Northside.
