North students striving for excellence in the month of February! 📖
We are kicking off our reading month with a Safari Assembly tomorrow and don't forget it's "Read a Shirt Day"--Favorite Sports team edition
Students will be inspired to read and participate in this month's reading activities.
Thanks to Vicki Parling, here's a blast from the past! For years, North Elementary has built positive relationships with community members!
Friday night some of our North students performed a pom pom routine at halftime of the basketball game! With limited practice, they did phenomenal!
This week the Positivity Project (P2) focuses on: LOVE OF LEARNING
5th graders became empowered learners by building their very own city with the blue blocks provided by STEAM teacher Mrs. Hindbaugh-Marr!
Sixth graders built and raced bobsleds in STEAM to practice the problem solving skills they will need for their upcoming mini soap box derby!
4th graders went to South School to do an erosion activity with 2nd graders. They were great role models and did an excellent job leading the activity!
Ms. Fonger's sixth graders learned about "Other People Matter" during their first P2 lesson. They learned about building positive relationships with other people and wrote their own definitions of Other People Matter. They are posted in the classroom doorway to remind us as we enter to collaborate and care about others!
Ithaca Public Schools Kindergarten Registration is just around the corner. Please contact the South Office if you have an incoming kindergarten student at 989-875-4741. Registration is on April 20, 4-7:30 PM at South Elementary.
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!
Third graders working on blankets to support members of our community.💜
The sixth graders had another wonderful collaborative party! We rotated from class to class and enjoyed our many snacks and Valentine treats!
Dear Students, Parents, Staff and Community Members,
Attached to this email is a letter from all of the superintendents in the Gratiot-Isabella RESD in response to the tragedy that took place last night at MSU.
