Thank you to Michigan One Community Credit Union for selecting North Elementary and South Elementary for the M1 Community Bonus award again this year! Each school was awarded $500.
After learning that the Rockefeller Christmas Tree is used to make Habitat for Humanity homes once the holiday season is over, these community-minded builders created models of habitat homes using our Zenius kits. The kits are very tricky to use, but they didn't give up trying!
Join us for our North Elementary Family Fun Night this Thursday from 5:30-6:30. Creating snowflakes and using our wind tunnel to help them gently land in a snow pile, and using magnetic coaster kits to see just how tricky it is to get presents down the chimney and into the right location are just two of the fun activities we have planned!
Children!!! Are you looking for special gifts for your family this holiday season? Check out this amazing community opportunity for children to shop for one dollar a gift!
Celebrating our November Students of the Month! This month’s Positivity Project focused on bravery, gratitude, and teamwork highlighting their ability to build positive relationships and show resilience. #SwarmTogether
Sixth graders prepared for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade by building their own floats using our rigamajig kits. Can you spot a camel, an alligator, a Christmas tree, and a cup of hot cocoa complete with marshmallows?

Now that My School Closet has distributed all 290 bags of clothing for the fall deliveries, it is time to help them replenish their stock so they can continue to service the families in need in our district. North Elementary has a box to drop off donations to the program. Thank you for your help in serving our community.
Parents: We have quite a few items in our lost and found. Please take a minute and glance through these pictures to see if you recognize any of the clothing. We are making room for the winter lost and found items, so we will be donating anything left to My School Closet after the Thanksgiving Break.
5th graders used their creative minds to build models with cookies to show the moon phases!

North Elementary is practicing GRATITUDE over the next two weeks. Today after our Principal Chats, every student wrote down one thing to be grateful for at North Elementary. We created a "Gratitude Graffiti Window."
Dear North Families, Good luck to all of the hunters tomorrow! Please make sure that you are paying attention to the Ithaca Public Schools calendar for scheduled days off and half days of school in November. Swarm Together, Mrs. Rayburn
Fourth graders designed working Lego pollination models after learning about the remarkable structures used by the Giant Water Lily. It was a great opportunity to creatively collaborate!

Today some of Miss Yoder's 5th graders read empowering Veterans Day letters during the ceremony to honor Veterans. The rest of the 5th graders came to listen and understand the importance of this day to the community and country. Thank you to all of those who have served and are currently serving!!
Third graders just truly enjoying each other's company and encouraging a classmate to do a read aloud.....priceless!
We are proud to share that our school library has been enhanced through a grant from the Gratiot Community Foundation, in collaboration with the talented students from Shark Tooth Woodshop at St. Louis High School. The newly designed furniture creates a welcoming learning environment, fostering creativity and engagement among our students. Students are already enjoying their new reading spots! This initiative reflects the importance of community support in education. #SwarmTogether
