58" tall! These kids worked hard to build this fort during their recesses!
Show your school spirit tomorrow by wearing Blue & Gold, Maize & Blue, or Green & White!
4th graders made their reading come alive! After reading about the settling of JamesTown, they created dioramas of what they pictured it looking like in 1610.
Fifth graders created models of Earth's orbit around the sun using sphero mini robots. It proved to be quite tricky coding the "Earth" to get to each season!
Dear North Families,
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day and enjoy the snow this weekend!

Swarming together through STEAM! Miss Sopocy's 6th graders teamed up with the Kindergarteners at South Elementary to explore motion and energy in STEAM. These engaging opportunities spark student growth and help cultivate positive relationships. Let’s celebrate these creative moments that bring our students together!
4th graders traveled to South School to join 2nd graders for a STEAM lesson on erosion. It was a great experience for all of the students! We saw a lot of smiles and laughter as they were learning and talking about erosion! A huge Thank You to Mrs. Hindbaugh-Marr for arranging this experience!
Teamwork in action! On Monday, Ms. Foglesong's 6th graders joined forces with Kindergarteners for a fun STEAM project! They investigated if a sled travels faster when heavier or lighter. Together, they engaged in problem-solving and built positive relationships. Thanks to Mrs. H-Marr and our school bus transportation for making this trip possible! #SwarmTogether
Thank you to our amazing families who came to Family Reading Night and the Invention Convention! We had over 100 students bring their families!

Even rival fans can bond over a good book!
We are so thankful that Pheasants Forever continues to support nature-based learning in our district! Fourth graders used their knowledge of land features and animals to play a new card game purchased with Pheasants Forever funds. They had a great time sharpening their science skills!
Sixth grade students are launching into a new force and motion unit! Students were "problem investigators" today. They observed multiple collisions with objects of different mass and at different amounts of force. They analyzed their observations to see that changing the force and mass will affect the results of the collision!
Dear North Families,
Can you believe we made it through the first month of 2025 already? We hope you have a great weekend! Swarm Together, Mrs. Rayburn
Movement + Learning = Success! Our 6th graders just completed an engaging activity that combined movement with learning as they dove into the 1960s. Through a sticky note gallery walk, students had empowering opportunities to express their thoughts and collaborate in a positive learning environment.
