NORTHVIEW CHOSEN AS MISSOURI SCHOOL OF CHARACTER

On April 19th we were presented with a banner from Characterplus in recognition for being named a Missouri School of Character.  Every class had their picture taken with the banner.  As a part of our assembly, Mrs. Briggs’ class presented a fantastic video of our new school song which incorporates our core values: *Education*Attitude*Goal Setting*Leadership*Effort*Safety.  We were pleased to have our superintendent, Mr.  John Cary, our associate superintendent, Dr. Joan Zavitsky, and our director, Dr. Paul Bauer share in this event.  We are in the process of gathering votes from students and staff on where to display our new banner!  Thanks for all of your support—we couldn’t do it without you!
