The 2017 Northwood School Winter Carnival was a big hit All four teams competed hard, and everyone had fun. Winter Carnival is a tradition at Northwood made up of many athletic, artistic, and intellectual contest that the student body takes part in. This year the four teams were Black, Gold, Red and Purple. Highlights from Winter carnival include broom-ball, dodge-ball, and the talent show.

The fun-filled day ended with a dance at smoke signals, a restaurant in Lake Placid, where more events took place: tug-of-war, a dance off, hula-hooping, and many minute-to-win-it games. At the end of the day the black team, thought to be the underdogs, walked away with the win. Runners up, in order, were Purple, Gold, and Red. Winter carnival remains a memorable day for all that participate.
