"Spring Into Reading" Family Night at the Elementary was great fun! Thanks to all who came out, the teachers, and especially Mrs. Pilliard for putting it all together.











Pettis Co R-V has declared as surplus property a Craftsman Commercial Drill Press 15 1/2in - see pictures. The press appears to have a bent shaft. Through a grant, the school has obtained a new drill press so we just need to sell this one and have it removed. The drill will be sold via silent auction. Persons may email the superintendent at afagg@nwmustangs.org with bids until 4:00pm Tuesday, March 14th. The winning bidder will be notified via email or phone call. Once notified of purchase the winning bidder will be responsible to submit payment to the school and pick up the drill press by Wednesday, March 22nd. Thank you

NWES Spirit Week


SCHEDULE CHANGE & CLARIFICATION
The community meeting scheduled for Tuesday, January 31st has been moved to Wednesday, February 8th at 6:00pm. Northwest is simply considering what the pros and cons of moving to the I-70 Conference might be. No official offer has been made by the I-70 Conference. This is a very beginning stages conversation for something that may never happen. Thank you

Thank you to the Sheriff Department. Today there was a deputy in the high school for a short while. He was just making his rounds, supporting the school district. We appreciate the Sheriff Department's service and commitment to Northwest.

INVITATION:
Tuesday, January 31st NW is hosting an open community forum to listen to patron input. The I-70 Conference has invited us to move our membership from the Kaysinger Conference to the I-70. The meeting will be in the high school library from 6:00-7:00pm. If you would like to share a thought or ask questions without attending the meeting then please email Mrs. Fagg at afagg@nwmustangs.org. Thank you

Due to inclement weather, Pettis County R-5 schools will be closed today, January 25th.
