Hello Nighthawks,
As we step into Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to pause and highlight the quiet, powerful work our teachers do each and every day. While we often see their commitment in the classroom, so much of their impact happens beyond what’s visible.
Our teachers are mentors, motivators, and builders of confidence. They create meaningful connections with students, foster curiosity, and encourage them to take risks, think deeply, and lead with heart. They model what it means to care—for learning, for one another, and for our greater community.
Whether it's staying late to support a club, coaching on the field, providing a listening ear, or finding creative ways to engage students, Northfield teachers show up in ways big and small that shape who our students become.
The sense of belonging we work so hard to create at Northfield is only possible because of the people who fill our classrooms with purpose and passion.
Let’s make sure they feel the appreciation they deserve. Please take a moment this week to send a note of thanks to a teacher who has made a difference—email addresses can be found in our Northfield Staff Directory.
It’s always a great day to be a Nighthawk—and our teachers are a big reason why.
Principal Rodriguez Bracey
