Northwood Civic Association Meeting June 18th

There were only 10 attending the meeting on Tuesday night at St. James but there were quite a few questions and some discussion.

  • The owners of 5260 Castor Avenue have presented a new business plan for the property.  They have signatures of neighbors in the immediate area supporting their application of operate a hair salon at that address.  The Civic has decided to submit a letter of non opposition to the plan to the zoning board.
  • Simpson playground is is still falling down and there are no plans from the city to repair it.  The damage would take capital funds and the council representatives say there is no money.  The pool will open this summer with porta potties available for the swimmers and others users of the facility.  Is this the best they can do?
  • Tom McAvoy reported on the success the Townwatch has had in eliminating truck parking on residential streets in Northwood.  Captain McCloskey has been very supportive.

The next Northwood Civic Association meeting will be held on Tuesday July 16th at 7PM at St. James Lutheran Church at Castor Ave. and Pratt St.

Harding Middle School Crossing Boundaries

From Michael J. Calderone, Principal
Warren G. Harding Middle School

Students in Mr. Tietz’ Art class at Harding Middle were part of the first ever student art display at the Barnes! This is a result of their participation in the Crossing Boundaries Program. Crossing Boundaries integrates art appreciation with social studies, mathematics, and literacy.

Seventh graders learn about African sculpture traditions and observe the influence of African sculpture on the innovations of European modern artists. Eighth graders use the Barnes Foundation’s unique ensemble displays (wall arrangements) to analyze art across geographic regions and create their own ensembles using proportional reasoning.  Students in both grades participate in two in-classroom lessons and visit the Barnes Foundation to explore the art they have already studied in depth.
