Dear 5th Grade Families,
We know how much the 5th grade field trip to Greenfield Village means to our families. With our departure at 7 A.M. and return at 6 P.M., many need time to plan ahead. Moreover, we encourage as many parents as possible to join us on this trip. It is a special time to share, just you and your fifth grader, and the earlier you can make plans for your work schedule the more likely you will be able to come along! With those things in mind, we are giving you this announcement: Our trip to Greenfield Village is scheduled for Thursday, May 30. Much more information will come in March - including a permission slip and a reminder that the cost is $4 per student thanks to the generosity of our PTA and $14 per adult. For now, please mark your calendars for Thursday, May 30, 2024 as our Greenfield Village field trip!
Sincerely,
Your 5th Grade Teachers
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Humility. Humility means you do not seek the spotlight. You let your actions speak for themselves.
“I’m surrounded by nothing but great people. I’ve been blessed with that, so really, I’ve got no choice but to be an all-around good person.”--TIM DUNCAN
Dear North Families!
We hope you had a Happy Valentine's Day! Have a great weekend!
Check out our 2024 READbowl Champions! All of these girls love to read fiction books! The champions received a special lunch from Mrs. Rayburn at The Hearthstone!
Mrs.Hull's 3rd graders received a special gift from a special grandma on Valentine's Day!! Thank you so very much for these adorable handmade teddy bears!! A lot of love and hard work went into making these and the kids loved receiving them.
Fourth graders created Lego rock layers to represent the different layers under our feet! The white and green pieces in each layer indicate animals and plants that lived at the time that layer formed. It was a fun way to visualize the changes our Earth has experienced over time!
Happy Valentine's Day from our 6th graders! We had another wonderful class party and also enjoyed many treats and cards from our friends!

4th graders had fun supporting the Super Bowl team they are going to be rooting for this weekend!
4th graders were able to work with 2nd graders during a STEAM activity about landforms. They used candy bars to recreate how mountains are made and used sand trays with marbles to show how land moves. We want to thank Ric's and Dollar General for the donations of the candy bars!
In science today, sixth graders investigated how the weight and the strength of a push affects how an object will move after a collision. They used empty and weighted pop cans and different size binder clips to engage with force and motion!
In 6th grade Math the students have been working on a unit called, Hands on Equations. This unit helps empower the students' thinking and using their Algebra skills. By the end of the unit the students have become great problem solvers in better understanding of how to solve and find a variable.
Check out our first place winner's of Mrs. Hull's Kindness poster contest!!As their prize, we will be asking local businesses to showcase a poster in their window as a reminder for us all to help spread Kindness throughout our community!!
