Please join us in celebrating our May Students of the Month! This month, our focus was on highlighting students who consistently demonstrate Enthusiasm, Leadership, and an Other-People Mindset. Whether it is lifting up a classmate, taking charge of a project, or simply bringing a bright smile and a positive attitude to school every day, these students embody the very best of our school family. Thank you to our honorees for your dedication, your kindness, and for showing us all what it means to be a future-ready leader. Congratulations to all of our selected students!

5th Grade Greenfield Village Trip! Yesterday, our 5th graders went to Greenfield Village and had an amazing time! It was awesome to see them make real-world connections to what they’ve been learning in class all year long. They got to visit the Wright Brothers' bike shop and childhood home, see Henry Ford’s childhood home and the Ford Motor Company, explore Thomas Edison’s lab, and so much more! A special thank you to our PTO for helping fund this trip and for our amazing school t-shirts! Also, thank you to our great bus drivers for getting us to the village and back to North safely! We are so proud of our students for representing our school so well.

Ms. Foglesong's class enjoyed a delicious summertime watermelon treat on Thursday, thanks to our amazing weekly volunteer, Mrs. Paradise! We are so incredibly lucky to have had Mrs. Paradise in our corner all year long. From helping out weekly with reading, math, and projects, to even helping us tackle the job of cleaning out lockers, she has been an absolute blessing to our students. Thank you, Mrs. Paradise, for your endless support, hard work, and for ending our year on such a sweet note!

Four of our sixth-grade students recently spoke at Ithaca's three Memorial Day ceremonies, sharing reflections based on correspondence with veterans. The students reviewed personal letters detailing who veterans remember on this holiday and why the day carries such significance for those who served. Inspired by these firsthand accounts, the four speakers composed and delivered their own meaningful responses to honor the occasion. Great job Morgan, Lylian, Emery, and Everley. Thank you for taking your holiday to reach out to our community this way.

These 3rd graders are crafty and creative! Our coloring/art day was a success and you can see their talent. We had everything from shoe design to rock painting. Enjoy!
