Brrr, it’s getting cold! Please make sure that your children are prepared every day for the weather! Next
week is a shorter week, so we will not be sending The Buzz or a Teacher Newsletter home. We hope you
have a Happy Thanksgiving with your friends and family!
With Jacket Pride, Mrs. Rayburn
The 5th graders had a blast during Harvest Day! Thank you to the Ithaca High School FFA group for putting on the event for us!
Third graders read The Tiny Seed in STEAM and were challenged to build the tallest possible freestanding “flower tower” using only one piece of card stock and masking tape.
4th graders had a great time with the high school FFA members for Harvest Day!
Harvest Day at North
6th graders had a busy morning attending Harvest Day brought to us by the Ithaca FFA. We had many activities like pumpkin bowling, cornhole, and even getting the chance to sit in a tractor. It was a lot of fun and we are thankful for the FFA to come and put on this great event for our school. Then we had a Principal Chat with Mrs. Rayburn. The message this month was on communication and showing respect while staff, adults, and our friends are speaking.
The weather has definitely changed! The "white stuff" is back... If your child wants to be able to play in the snow at recess, please remember they must have winter gear: coat, snowpants, snow boots. A hat and gloves are always a good idea too. They will need to stay on the blacktop to play if they do not have the proper winter gear for playing in the snow.
Fourth graders took a virtual tour of Oklahoma’s Museum of Osteology during STEAM and were challenged to construct their own skeleton displays. Thank you Alley T for the twist ties!!
Harvest Day is tomorrow, November 17th. This event is hosted by our Ithaca FFA students. The students will rotate between stations; some of which will be outside, so please dress for the weather. We look forward to this event and learning more about agriculture in our community.
Our building is currently participating in the CMU Women's Basketball Hoops for Hunger Food Drive Contest. This contest goes until December 1st, so please bring in items to help our school. The most requested items: canned fruit, vegetables, chicken/tuna, beans, rice, pasta, and peanut butter. Non-edible items requested include: pet food, diapers, deodorant, socks, toothbrushes, etc. Also cash donations are accepted as well-- $1 = 9 lbs. of food.
If our school collects 700 items from the entire school Mrs. Rayburn, Mr. Showers, and Mr. DeRosia will receive a pie in the face as part of our school wide challenge.
Thank you to Kari and Matt Vernon who donated money for our 3rd grade classrooms to make blankets for those in need!
Just a friendly reminder there is NO SCHOOL on Tuesday, November 15th. Enjoy the day off and we will see you back to school on Wednesday!
The 5th graders enjoyed an incredible ceremony for Veterans Day. Kids from Ms. Yoder’s class and one from Mr. DeRosia’s class, gave heartfelt speeches that were very well done. Thank you to all Veterans, who are with us and who have passed for the sacrifices you have made for us!
Our sixth grade band students had their first concert last evening at the high school. They did an amazing job and have made lots of progress since the beginning of the year.
