Hi North Families! Please enjoy your winter break! We will see you in 2026!
To celebrate the end of 2025 and the success of our concert yesterday, North students got into the holiday spirit by playing instruments along to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and playing "Blind Karaoke," a song-guessing game. We had a blast!
Mr. Pendell surprised some of our 3rd and 4th grade students with stockings that were donated by the Heroes Center in St. Louis. The stockings were put together by military veterans and volunteers.
We are proud to recognize our December Students of the Month for exemplifying the Positivity Project: they consistently showed kindness, supported peers in times of need, and exercised strong self-control. These traits build the positive school culture we value and prepare students for future leadership.
Who’s excited for PJ Day tomorrow? Wear your favorite pajamas, robes, and slippers as we enjoy the final day before holiday break — comfy vibes only!
4th graders have been researching three tourist destinations in Michigan and how they connect to Michigan history. Today, they got to present their slideshows. They all did a fantastic job!
Fourth graders used wiggle bots and shape-coded robots to create colorful holiday artwork in STEAM lab!
Recess fun at North Elementary!
Third graders sure enjoyed their Christmas party yesterday! Thank you to all of our families for donations, supervising activities and joining us for a great time.
What a great day to be a third grader! Santa visited us and our holiday party in the gym was a ton of fun! Thanks to everyone who sent in supplies and also to those who joined us and helped out!
Day 4: Christmas Color Day — Red • White • Green!
Get ready to shine at today's holiday concert — wear your festive red, white, and green and spread the cheer! Which color combo are you choosing (classic red & green, snowy white, or all three)? Can't wait to see everyone in their holiday colors!
A few of our Jacket Buddies sprinkled a little "Holiday Magic" this week!
Reminder: Tomorrow is our holiday concert! Doors open for the North Elem. concert, at 1:30 pm, no earlier. Enter through the gym doors.
📚🐛 Fifth Graders Are Bookworms for Bookworms! 🐛📚
Our fifth graders have truly been bookworms for bookworms as they’ve been diving into The Watsons Go to Birmingham—1963 and The Westing Game! Students have been so engaged, eager to share their thoughts, ask questions, and discuss the stories with one another.
Through shared reading and partner reading, students are building fluency while also growing their love of reading. It’s been amazing to see their excitement, curiosity, and confidence shine as they explore these powerful and intriguing novels together. We love watching our readers learn, think, and grow!
Ready to spread some Who-ville cheer? Day 3 of our December Dress Up Days is Grinch Day — wear your best Who-ville outfit! Will you be Cindy-Lou Who, a cheerful Who, or go full Grinch?
Third graders had special guests this morning! Thank you Santa and Mrs. Claus for taking time to visit us.
Merry Christmas!
Ready for Day 2 of December Dress-Up Day? Wear your favorite Christmas shirt — sweater, T‑shirt, or sweatshirt — and bring the holiday spirit to school
Get ready for Monday to feel a little festive from the feet up! Put on your favorite holiday socks and get cozy — whether it’s reindeer, snowflakes, or classic stripes, we can't want to see them!
