We had a beautiful day at Reed Park for our 3rd/4th grade end of the year celebration!
As we wrap up an incredible school year, we’re thrilled to recognize our May Students of the Month who have truly shined by demonstrating:
Enthusiasm – Bringing energy and excitement to everything they do!
Leadership – Guiding others with confidence, kindness, and integrity.
Other People Mindset – Always thinking beyond themselves and lifting others up.
Spiral Review – Living out all 24 Positivity Project character strengths we've focused on this year!
These students are amazing examples of what it means to be positive, kind, and full of Yellowjacket Pride! #SwarmTogether
We are thrilled to invite parents and family members to our 6th grade graduation on June 6th at 10 AM. This milestone event will take place outdoors, so please bring lawn chairs for seating. In case of rain, we will relocate to the gym. Join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our students!
Our 3rd and 4th grades will be going to Reed Park tomorrow, June 2nd. You must have a life jacket in order to swim. Please remember to bring a towel and swimsuit to change into!
Thank you to our amazing PTO for helping fund our 5th grade Greenfield Village field trip and T-shirts for the entire grade!! We had a great time!
Last week, 4th graders were able to go to Bay City State Park. Nature Awaits completely funds field trips to state parks for 4th graders around the state! Even though it was cold and rainy, our students and chaperones had a great time along the shores of Lake Huron learning about native species as well as invasive species, and finding cool critters in the marsh!
The Greenfield Village field trip is tomorrow! The Fifth Grade Teachers look forward to seeing students and their adult chaperones tomorrow, May 29, no later than 6:30 AM in their classrooms.
After checking in with teachers, chaperones will be free to return to their vehicle and start the trip! Students will ride the bus to the Village.
Tickets will be given to chaperones when the bus arrives at the Village.
Students riding the bus to Ithaca from the Village will be BACK at North School's gym lot around 6 PM. Parents need to pick up those children at North school at 6 PM.
Please help students remember to bring food, sweatshirt, umbrella, cell phone, or other supplies you think may be needed for a day spent mostly outdoors, walking!
Thank you!
Our 6th graders are participating in the "Too Good for Drugs" program, gaining valuable insights into the effects of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. This program is offered by Child Advocacy. We’re empowering our students to make smart choices for a brighter future!
5th graders had an excellent field trip to the community fire house to learn more about the community!
We LOVE our Heroes in the Hive! 🐝. Thank you for another amazing year?
ACES Day! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
Today our 6th graders participated in ACES Day (All Children Exercising Simultaneously) and had an awesome time!
We walked for 30 minutes around the high school track, enjoying the fresh air, some movement, and best of all—time with our friends from North Elementary! 💙💛
It was so great to see our students laughing, talking, and staying active together. What a fun way to celebrate health and community!
5th graders collaborated with 4th graders to creatively advertise some of the books they will read next year!
Sixth graders created miniature golf courses in STEAM lab and spent time testing them out this week. Each hole required the golf ball to navigate around, under, or over three different obstacles and proved to be quite challenging with our meter stick and clothespin "clubs". Perseverance was key!
4th grade was able to visit our beautiful capitol building and the Michigan Historical Museum thanks to the support of the PTO! We would like to give a big thank you to the parents and grandparents who helped us paint the shirts to wear!!!
Today, our empowering high school seniors took a final stroll through the halls of North Elementary, greeted by cheering students wishing them all the best! 🎉 It’s a bittersweet moment filled with resilience and hope as they embark on their next journey.
Please join us for ACES Day at the high school track on Thursday, May 22nd! We will begin walking around 9:30am!
Dear North Families, We hope you have a great weekend! The warmer weather feels amazing!
🚍✨ Field Trip Fun at the Sloan Museum! ✨🚍
Our students had a fantastic day exploring the Sloan Museum! They kicked off the trip with an exciting STEAM challenge, building cars from recycled materials. Creativity and teamwork were on full display!
Students explored a variety of hands-on science exhibits, including the always-popular water table, which was a definite favorite. 💧🔬
They also walked through fascinating history exhibits, focusing on Michigan’s rich history, with a special spotlight on Flint, Michigan. From innovative concept cars to learning about the famous Flintstones who played at MSU. It was a day packed with discovery and fun.
A BIG thank you to our amazing PTO for fully funding this field trip for all of our students! Your support made this unforgettable day of learning possible. 💛
Thank you also to our wonderful chaperones and the Sloan Museum for providing such an engaging and educational experience.
Third graders experimented with balanced and unbalanced forces in STEAM lab after designing their own balance scales! They were challenged to compare various classroom items (erasers, binder clips, tape rolls, etc.) and determine which items were heaviest.
Fourth graders continued their renewable energy unit by learning about wind turbines that have large fringed blades to mimic owl feathers for noise reduction and small curved blades to mimic maple seeds for increased movement. Their models of these unique turbines were fantastic!
