A big Thank You to Mr. Stride and the Stride Tree Service. He donated 4 Maple Trees to North Elementary. Each student was able to help fill in the dirt as the trees were being planted.  It was a wonderful way to celebrate Arbor Day! Please look at the photos on our Event Page.

The Mother/Son Movie night will begin at 6:00 pm Friday night. Please come early to visit the Scholastic Buy One Get One Book Fair. Raffle tickets  for the fingerprint watering can and boy's basket will also be available to purchase.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day to turn in Pepperoni Roll money and forms. Thank you to all who have helped with this fundraiser.

Happy Earth Day! The school celebrated Earth Day last Friday. The students visited 5 stations in the school. They learned about recycling, water pollution, planted vegetables and flowers, made a craft and enjoyed an "Earth"cookie. A big thank you to Kohl's Department Store, Peg  from the Green Team, Shelly form the Soil and Water Conservation District, and our PTO volunteers. They helped to make this event a memorable one for the students and staff.

Tomorrow is our "quarter day" for collecting coins for the Leukemia Pennies for Patients drive. Our penny and nickel days totalled $158. I have been sharing stories of children that have been affected by leukemia during our morning announcements. Please ask your child about these brave patients. Thank you for all those that were able to donate their spare change.

Yesterday, the Pittsburgh Zoo paid a visit to North thanks to our PTO. They brought 3 zoo animals, opossum, turtle, and a bird of prey, to show the students. Nine students were selected from the audience to participate in trivia questions. Their presentation was focused on conservation of water and taking care of the environment. This was a nice introduction for our upcoming Spring Fest.

Just a reminder that there is no school for students on Monday, April 15th due to training for the Poland staff. Thank you.

North was treated to a special visit today from Jackson and his mother, Mrs. Diaz. We were introduced to him and heard about his rare disease called Apert Syndrome. Mrs. Diaz read two books to the children about being different. The visit was ended with the students asking questions to Mrs. Diaz. We are starting a Pepperoni Roll fundraiser this Friday. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Jackson and his family to help with medical costs. Please be watching for the order forms later this week. Thank you for your support.
