Their participation in this clinic was a service to Minnesota string teachers, and a rich educational experience for each student.

In this video, Superintendent Chris Richardson talks about the Northfield School Board's decision on Monday to change the district's approach to the annual Eagle Bluff trip.
In this video, Superintendent Chris Richardson talks about the Northfield School Board's decision on Monday to change the district's approach to the annual Eagle Bluff trip. The Environmental Learning Center overnight trip, traditionally taken in the fall by Northfield Middle School seventh-graders, will now be split into two options as the district's incoming seventh-grade class is too large to follow the previous procedure. Now the trip, aimed at offering environmental learning and team building, will have two components: day trips in the fall for all interested students during school and an overnight option held in August through the district's Community Services Division. Watch the video for more details from Richardson. Other Eagle …

This action is being taken for "peace of mind" due to information shared by a staff member about an adult family member who does not live in this area, said NMS Principal Jeff Pesta.
Northfield Middle School is in a "secure mode" for the remainder of Friday as a precautionary measure. Principal Jeff Pesta told Patch the concern has to do with a staff member and someone associated with that person, but declined to say more as to not identify the staffer. He said the person in question is not in the Northfield area, but that he or she may want to come see the staffer at the school. “It’s someone who doesn’t have any business here as far as we’re concerned as a school,” he said. “Based on the information I have, I would do the same thing (again). The difference this week is we’re making sure people know about it because we don’t want to fuel any rumors.” Pesta said a secure campus approach is typically used few times a …
