Northwest Middle School

This club produces a school yearbook, newspaper, magazine, and year-end slide show. Due to changes in the publishing process, no magazine or newspaper will run this school year. Student applications for the yearbook staff will be accepted at the end of October and the club is open to students in grades 6, 7 and 8. Anyone with creative experience and free time afterschool will find this club very rewarding. See Ms. Pearce for info!

They meet afterschool to work on activities and events that help them accomplish this goal. See Mr. Smolko for information on joining this club.
