This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Forgiveness. Forgiveness means you forgive those who have done wrong and you accept that people make mistakes.
“Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head on.”--ALICE DUER MILLER
Here is a group picture of some 6th graders who dressed up for "Sweet Dreams" day. Way to show spirit by dressing up!
We kick off our homecoming week on Monday with "Sweet Dreams Day." Wear your pajamas and/or comfy clothes.
Third grade collaborators used legos and cubelet robot blocks to demonstrate how plants naturally move/bend toward light. They used the light sensors on the blocks to make their Lego plants actually move when they detected light!
Thank you PTO for giving each classroom funds for supplies this year. Sixth graders tested their boats in the gutters that we purchased for our STEAM lab--they were a huge hit!
5th graders made creative photosynthesis models for science lessons this week.
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Perspective. Perspective means you appreciate when people see things in different ways. You have the ability to understand the world from multiple points of view.
Perspective is also referred to as wisdom and is distinct from intelligence. People with this strength are sought out for advice because they see the big picture and can make sense of the world’s complexity. This strength of perspective gives individuals the ability to see to the heart of difficult matters and achieve clarity. Most importantly, they are honest and behave in an ethically consistent manner.
As an extension of their science work with animal senses, fourth graders constructed scientific models of basset hounds to demonstrate how long ears, short legs, and long noses contribute to this breed's amazing sense of smell.
5th graders engaged in positive learning during their field trip to Forest Hill Nature Center!
Congratulations to Mason Toth for completing the Scholastic Summer Reading!! Way to go working on your individual learning experience throughout the summer!!
We are happy to announce our September Student of the Months! These students have been caught demonstrating positive character strengths during the month of September.
In Science our sixth graders are conducting an empowering lesson to see how the water cycle transfers energy from one source to another thru celery. The sixth graders are becoming problem solvers with this lesson along with collaboration within their group.
Hello North Families,
Attached you will find The Buzz for 9/29/23. Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Loving and Miss. Lalk did a great lesson on bullying for 4th graders! Students learned the different kinds of bullying and how to stop it.
We only had one "Cheesehead" roaming the halls today! Hopefully the stare down scared him off! Gooooo Lions!
Our sixth graders are lucky to welcome a few of Mrs. VanDeWeghe's leadership students to our classroom. They are building positive relationships with our students as well as helping out during our math lesson.
We love our update to the North Elementary Gymnasium! Students, staff, and community members have been complimenting our hard work. It's great to see the wall already being used as a backdrop for extra curricular activities! Swarm Together!

This week our school community will be focusing on the Other People Mindset (OPM) of Being Present and Giving Others My Attention. This means when I’m with other people, I’m present and give them my full attention.
This element of the Other People Mindset is so important today due to the increasing number of distractions vying for our time and attention. Phone calls, text messages, emails, social media notifications all have the dangerous capacity to pull us away from the present moment and, what’s most important -- our relationships with other people.
This Friday, September 29th all camp funds are due for our 6th graders! Please make sure to have your payments turned in by the end of this week. If you have any questions, please call the office 989-875-3047.
