This month Springfield Elementary families were able to enjoy the 3rd Annual PJs and Pancakes with Santa event! Students were served Santa pancakes, decorated an ice cream cone Christmas tree, wrote a letter to Santa, made an ornament, reindeer food and picture frame, and visited with the Grinch and Santa!
A huge thank you needs to go out to all the staff who makes this possible every year! Also thank you to our board members, Shelly Rice and her husband Gil, Heather Fawcett, and Dan Peppers who helped run stations. We could absolutely not run this event without the continued support! Lastly, thank you to Anthony Honeycutt and his students for cutting and drilling holes in over 100 pieces of wood for our students to make their own ornaments!

Today, Mr. Clark's Forensic Science classes had the distinct privilege of interacting with Special Agent Jason Wick. Agent Wick serves our country as an explosive & arson expert. He took time this morning with our students to discuss the cases that he has worked on in the United States. Our Forensic Science classes have been studying cases that impacted our country such as the Pizza Bomber case right here in Erie, PA. Agent Wick played a key role in the investigation on that case right here in Erie County. Thank you to Special Agent Wick for taking his time to speak with Northwestern HS students today.
