All while incorporating roses and this year\u2019s parade theme of, &#8220;Growing Together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, NWP students created a unique float entry for the May 17th Luther Burbank Rose Parade in downtown Santa Rosa.&nbsp; While May 8th is the academic exhibition here on campus, the exhibition performance will be at the parade on May 17th @ 10am.&nbsp; We invite you to join us at the parade as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this project, our seniors have taken on projects of personal interest to share with all of you. These projects will be on display in our \u201cSenior Grotto.\u201d These project topics include, Early Child Psychology, Music Production, Non-Dairy and Gluten Free Baking, The Human Mind, Trauma, and Media, Responsible Electronics Use, Animal Therapy, and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday, May 8th 2025, you are cordially invited to explore what our students have developed throughout this semester. We will kick the evening off with a greeting and overview on the front lawn near the garden @ 6pm before releasing you to the corridor and classrooms to view elements of student work and the float itself.&nbsp; We look forward to you joining us.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Northwest Prep Staff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-731x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-731x1024.png 731w, https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-286x400.png 286w, https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-768x1076.png 768w, https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-1097x1536.png 1097w, https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed.png 1391w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u27a4 Important Dates Monday 5\/5 \u2013 Whole School Group PhotoMonday 5\/5 \u2013 PA Meeting after morning circleMonday 5\/5 &#8211; Friday, 5\/9 \u2013 Teacher Appreciation Week (see below for details)Friday 5\/9 \u2013 Spring Festival 1:15 dismissal day with 5:00 start timeThursday 5\/15 \u2013 Last Day to order yearbooks in time for signing and free shippingFriday 5\/23 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19575"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19575\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19600,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19575\/revisions\/19600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villagecharterschool.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
