April is School Library Month, but at Colerain Elementary School, Jenny Spitzley works hard to create a library culture that celebrates literacy year-round!
In October, students from Mrs. Gall’s 5th-grade class turned pumpkins into their favorite book characters, and they were displayed in the library for all to see.
In December, students got in the holiday spirit with a celebration of The Polar Express.
To celebrate Read Across America Week in March, students participated in fun book-themed days. Favorite book character day was definitely the best! Students got to shop for books of their own at the Scholastic book fair.
Thank you, Mrs. Spitzley, for spreading the love of reading to Colerain Elementary students all year long!
This Friday night, 9/26/25, is Elementary Night at Colerain High School! There will be free hotdogs, a drink, and other planned activities starting at 5:15 in the lower lot by the scoreboard. Elementary students get in free with a paying adult! Hope to see you there!

NWLSD will once again partner with Colerain Township First Responders and the Hamilton County Communications Center to conduct critical incident training aimed at strengthening school safety and emergency preparedness. The trainings will take place on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and Thursday, July 31, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Northwest High School.
THE TRAININGS ARE NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
To create a realistic training environment, simulated gunfire using blank rounds will be used, and emergency vehicles and personnel will be on-site throughout the day. Community members should not be alarmed by their presence.
“This training is an essential part of our commitment to keeping students, staff, and our community safe," said Darrell Yater, Superintendent of Northwest Local School District.
