BACK TO SCHOOL - 2002

Time to get back into the swing of things! The Fall 2002 Semester has already begun for some of you, and for others, it is only just about to start. This new year will bring new challenges that will make the year rewarding as well as memorable! Remember to stay focused on your studies and keep striving for success!

IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME
The Norwood Kids' summer vacation is over. It's back to school time!!! For June, NFK had the pleasure of participating in the play called Heaven's Gates and Hell's Flame. The kids worked very hard to make this play come together. Parts for the play were learned on Saturday and production started on Sunday. You go Norwood Kids!

For most of July many of the Norwood Kids vacationed in other states causing cancellation in many of our practices. The opportunity to travel to different states gave the kids the experience of learning and seeing the different cultures of states such as Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, Tennessee, and Louisiana.

For the month of July the NFK, as a group, took several leisure trips: one to the Baton Rouge Louisiana Zoo, Skate Galaxy in McComb, and the Reservoir in Jackson, Mississippi. The NFK really has had a great summer.

We would like to recognize one of our fellow members who decided to go to summer school to improve her grades. She also received awards and recognition for her efforts.

British Jackson received three certificates for: 1.)Reading, Language Art, and Math 2.)Perfect Attendance Award 3.) Good Conduct (A)

That's right, it's never too late to work on your grades.
Now everyone is back in town and practice has once again resumed. Currently the NFK is getting ready for their annual U-Got Talent Showcase in August. This year we are planning for an even greater and better year than last year.

Don't forget to check out the photo gallery for the cast and crew for Heaven's Gate and Hell's Flame.
