PTA Announcements

Northfield Elementary PTA has several sponsorship levels that allow businesses to invest in our school’s educational programs and activities that enrich the lives & education of our students. Our PTA directly supports community-building events, educational support in the classroom, student enrichment opportunities, staff support, hospitality, and extracurricular events. 

Join Columbia for a family-friendly concert that explores exciting journeys through music! Experience the adventures of Harry Potter, Moana, and Peter and the Wolf, brought to life with dancers from Dance Connections and narration by Greg Jukes. Several Northfield students are performing in this play. 

 Two showtimes: Saturday, April 5, 10:30 AM (home by naptime!) & 1:00 PM

 50-minute concert—just right for little ones

 Meet the dancers & take photos before and after!

 Kids are encouraged to come in costume!

This is the perfect way to introduce children to live music in a fun, welcoming atmosphere.
