After watching a video on how the Grand Canyon formed, fourth graders used wooden balls, marbles, and steel balls to represent how light rain, heavy rain, and flood waters change Earth's surface. They recorded how many rolls it took for each type of "water" to erode the sand and create a canyon.
Please note--Thursday, January 11th the School Lunch menu will be Chicken Nuggets, Green Beans, and Fun Chips.
We had set a goal to bring in 400 cans to donate to the local food bank as part of the Hoops for Hunger food drive. Thanks to everyone who brought in cans or donated money, we exceeded our goal by donating 617 cans and $70! This is an outstanding accomplishment by our entire school!
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Prudence. Prudence means you plan for the future and achieve your goals by making careful everyday choices.

Don't miss out on the chance to order a yearbook for your student!
Welcome Back North Families! It was great to see all of the students walking the hallways at North Elementary again! We hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable winter break.
It's great to be back in the STEAM lab at North! Sixth graders used gravitrax kits to start their potential/kinetic energy unit, third graders created seasonal Lego scenes to begin their weather unit, and fourth graders constructed models of landforms to lead into their changing Earth unit. So many ways to use science, technology, engineering, art, and math skills!
North Elementary has a goal to reach! Can you help us reach our goal of donating 400 cans of food for the Hoops for Hunger CMU women's basketball game? We are still collecting items for the Hoops for Hunger food drive until Monday, January 8th. If you are able to help out, please consider donating an item or two. Also keep in mind that $1 = 9 lbs of food; so every little bit counts!
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Optimism. Optimism means you expect the best from the future and work to achieve it.
“Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.”--NICHOLAS M. BUTLER
We look forward to welcoming everyone back from holiday break tomorrow, Wednesday, January 3rd.
Congratulations to our December Students of the Month! All of these students have been caught demonstrating positive character strengths during the month of December!
Once again our wonderful support staff and principal have provided us with the most creative and festive lunchroom ever, The North Pole! The sixth graders were thrilled to enter the room and see all the hard work. We thank everyone who helped to make this such a fun holiday experience!
Happy Winter Break! Winter break begins after school today. We wish you all a restful, joyous, safe holiday season! School resumes on Wednesday, January 3rd, 2024!
