We're excited to kick off the "Positivity Project" (P2) at North Elementary. The intro week includes a focus on the "Other People Mindset."
Dear North Families:
We hope you had a great week! We are excited and happy to introduce a new social/emotional program for
our students - The Positivity Project. Please look for more information on this included with The Buzz newsletter.
Have a great weekend :)
North Elementary is excited to bring the character strength education program called “The Positivity Project” (or “P2”) beginning February 20th in all classes and grades at North.
The program is part of a nationwide movement and is focused around positive psychology’s scientifically-validated 24 character strengths. Students will discover ways to recognize these strengths in themselves and others to help build stronger relationships with their school community. Our first character strength will be 'Other People Mindset.' More information can be found in your child's Friday folder.
Help support the class of 2023 and get some pancakes in the process! The pancake supper is on February 24 from 4-7 pm in the Jr/Sr High School Cafeteria. See the flyer for more details!

Sixth grade students were empowered by their science knowledge to create a smoothie tailored for better digestion in Ms. Fonger's class. They got to sample each group's smoothies in a taste test this week. Smoothies included ingredients such as bananas, blueberries, raspberries, and kale!
Thank you Craig Frames for donating the supplies our students used to construct Valentine boxes. They realized there’s quite a bit of critical thinking involved in building a box! 😉
Third graders continued their weather work in STEAM by independently constructing “wind vanes” that could stand on their own and move in the wind!
Last week the sixth grade students enjoyed another engaging nutrition lesson presented by Mr. Boutwell. All of the students had the opportunity to try both pomegranate juice and seeds. Each lesson the students are provided with a healthy snack as well as nutrition activities.
Dear North Families,
The North Elementary staff would like to express our sincere thanks for all of the support that our North familes and community have generously shown to us in the loss of Mr. & Mrs. Hessbrook's son Brady. The treats, the lunches, the messages, the flowers and all of the other supportive gestures have been noted and sincerely appreciated.
There will not be school on this Friday, Feb 3, 2023. This will allow Ithaca Public School staff the opportunity to attend the service for Brady and support the Hessbrook family.
