Library Work Day
As of the New Year, all Sparks now visit the library weekly! We encourage our students to browse and pull out titles that interest them, however, these books tend to travel in all different directions… and whether or not they end up back in their proper spots is very unpredictable!
We are holding a Library Work Day following Mass on Wednesday, February 25, at 9:30 a.m. Volunteers are needed to help to re-shelve books and organize the shelves so we can maintain neatness and order in Narnia. We hope you can join us! Add to Calendar

Northridge Preparatory School invites you to this year’s Parent University speaker, Dr. Leonard Sax! A physician, psychologist, and bestselling author of Boys Adrift, Why Gender Matters, and The Collapse of Parenting, Dr. Sax is returning to Northridge to share his latest research on one of the most pressing challenges facing parents today.
In his presentation ‘Beyond Resilience’: Helping Your Child Become UnFragile, Dr. Sax will provide evidence-based answers to questions such as:
- Why are many kids today so fragile?
- How can I help my child fulfill their potential?
- Why are today’s American kids more likely to be anxious or depressed compared with American kids from just 20 years ago?
- What one thing can parents do to greatly improve the odds that their child will grow up to be healthy, happy, and successful?
