Earlier this week two of our sixth graders presented along with Mrs. Rayburn during this months 'Principal Chat.' Our sixth grade presenters wanted to spread the message to all students in our school to keep our school clean. They encouraged everyone to help our janitors out by picking up and throwing away our trash in the proper receptacle. Along with this message, Mrs. Rayburn talked about our school mission and vision: 'Swarm Together.'

The new year is starting off great! A short week for North Elementary, but it is good to get back in the "groove".
Have a great weekend!


Fifth graders started their shadow work in STEAM by creating foil sculptures “in motion” and sketching their shadows. See if you can spot a hockey player, a painter, a reader, and a dancer!

We wish all of our students and their families a very Merry Christmas from North Elementary.

Our school lunch was turned into the North Pole by Mrs. Rayburn and her elves (the paras and others) helped turn our lunch room into a Christmas spectacular with lights, a holiday inflatable, and even the North Pole! It was a real treat and we loved it! Thanks for all you do for our school!

Our sixth graders enjoyed a holiday party with a walking s'more treat along with some holiday games including BINGO!
