Norwood Public School

🍩 A SWEET THANK YOU! 🍩 Norwood would like to send a huge THANK YOU to Zach Brown and Community Gospel Center for thinking of our staff and bringing us donuts today! There’s nothing quite like starting the day with a sweet surprise, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to show our teachers and staff a little extra love. ❤️ We are so fortunate to be part of a community that continues to support, encourage, and take care of our school family. Thank you, Zach Brown and Community Gospel Center, for making our day a little sweeter! 🍩❤️ 🐾 Small school. Big heart. Great community.

🌟 Norwood Alumni Doing BIG Things! 🌟 We love seeing our former Norwood students grow up and continue making a difference! Norwood alum Brooklyn Meter, now a freshman at Hulbert High School, took the stage at the Guardians of Tomorrow Summit as the official Youth Leader Speaker! Brooklyn spoke to attendees representing communities from Alaska, Arizona, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Wisconsin, California, and Texas, sharing a youth perspective on prevention, online safety, and phone safety. From the halls of Norwood to speaking in front of leaders and communities from across the country, we couldn’t be more excited to see one of our own using her voice to help protect and empower other young people. 💙 Once a Norwood student, always part of the Norwood family. Keep doing BIG things, Brooklyn! Norwood is proud of you! 🌟 #NorwoodProud #NorwoodAlumni #DoingBigThings #StudentSuccess #GuardiansOfTomorrow #SmallSchoolBigDreams
