I'm just saying that mandatory volunteering is kind of contradictory, don't you think???  How can you require someone to volunteer? 

By the way, I don't have kids, and when I do, I will be helping (and am considering helping now, since I'm currently unemployed and want to help the community in som...

Oh, stop your whining Mzours and just volunteer.  Mandatory volunteering happens every day with students in high schools and people in their places of business.
If you don't want to do it, don't.  But just know that someone else is pulling your weight and making the fields green and the uniforms new f...

Mandatory volunteering... nice!!!

Some of the profits from photos and rings go to the individual school. Is that bad? Just asking. At least it keeps money in the county.

ss, I agree. everyone needs to do their part. It is not fair to the same peeps that always help out. I have worked the baseball concession before. Everyone can make the time to do their part.

Remember, we'll be collecting your old electronics tomorrow night at the NHS Football game. A friend said I should mention that the cell phones, cameras, etc DO NOT have to be in working order. The recycling company will still pay us. So clean all those old phones that weigh 3 or 4 pounds (reme...

The Northwood men's soccer team defeated Roxboro Community School this evening 10-0. It was a great effort by the undermanned RCS team. Scoring for the Chargers were Ryan Smith with 4, Jack Koch with 2, Hunter Flaugher 1, Austin Tingen 1, Rafael Orellana 1 and Pedro Ramos 1. Assists were tallied by Ch...

Good Luck this year Joaquin!

I borrowed a woodwind from a family member and it is in the shop right now for repair and cleaning. Being a music dummy I about fell over when I saw entry level instruments at a store in Burlington for $1000 to $1500. I will stick with used.

For horns there's a great alternative to renting, buy used from Marsh's Woodwinds in Raleigh.  They are great guys and better musicians and it's just a cool place.  I think it's still there.

Then they can work another sport or JV. There is always an excuse why someone can't do their part. It's pathetic.  It's not fair that it is the same handful of people, year after year after year, doing the work while other get to sit on their behinds.

QuoteFundraisers are a peeve of mine, kids come home excited that if they sell a certain amount the can attend a party, what is the school going to do when a child doesn't make the quota yet his/her class mates do?

Also music instruments are another racket. Rentals are $30 a month, what if a family ...

what a great idea, thanks for posting. I sure hope Northwood applies. 

We have used Portrait Innovations, very good and great prices. Cary, Apex, Raleigh

There has been a sitting fee for Senior portraits since I was at Northwood, and that was a long time ago!

The Lifetouch portraits do suck.  The band director at Northwood takes much better pictures and you get a lot more for your money.
