LAND USE PLANNING AND DESIGN P L A N ACK N OWLEDGME N TS Starting in early 2007, Northfield’s Park and Recreation Advisory Board IN TRODUCT I O N (PRAB) oversaw the preparation of a comprehensive parks, open space, and trail system plan for the city. This document is the final product of the public process, which was completed in December of 2007. PUBL I C IN VOLVEME N T Given the considerable public interest in parks, open space, and trails, the Northfield City Council and PRAB placed high value on extensive citizen involvement in the project. Through formal and informal meetings and open houses, individual citizens and advocacy groups had direct access to the consultant team and PRAB on numerous occasions. The comments and suggestions received from these interactions proved very fruitful and greatly influenced the development of the plan. The consultant team would like to thank Northfield for undertaking an open ACK N OWLEDGME N TS and constructive public participation process for this project. This allowed many perspectives to be considered and acted upon. Through this process, a responsible balance between individual interests and the general public good has been achieved.

    Northfield High School Athletics Newsletter August 30, 2018 Welcome to the Northfiled High School Athletics Newsletter! Nighthawk Nation will be published bi-monthly during the school year. Welcome aboard! Do The Right Things Please take some time over the next few days and weeks to visit with your young Nighthawk about the importance of regularly attending practice. Not only does practice support the development of the student-athlete, it also assists with the development of team chemistry and cohesiveness. Talk to your student about the importance of academics. It is important for students to live life “Above C Level.” Academics must drive athletics and not the other way around. The reality is that most kids will not have the opportunity to take part in college athletics. However, all kids will have a post-secondary career, and the resume development phase begins now. Recently, student-athletes have exhibited cramps and other symptoms related to water intake and improper nutrition. Take time to stress the importance of proper nutrition. Ensure your student-athlete has access to a meal that includes protein, is colorful with vegetables, and includes nutritional value. Let's do the right things Nighthawks! Polica Houston Assistant Principal & Athletic Director Northfield High School TOGETHER WE SOAR Polica Houston, Assistant Principal & Athletic Director [email protected] Gear Up, Game On! Our student athletes will be participating in competitions all week. Check out the schedule and come cheer on your fellow Nighthawks! Homecoming Athletics Schedule: Sept. 11: Boys Varsity Golf at 9am at Woodland Park Varsity Cross Country Cowboy Classic at 3:45 at Sunken Gardens Park Boys JV Soccer at 5:30pm at Northfield Boys Varsity Soccer at TBD at Northfield Sept.
