Friday night is the big "Movie Night" for North Moms and their sons. The movie will start at 6:00 and we will be watching Megamind. P.T.O. will provide popcorn and water for the movie. The Handel's cart will be here if you are interested in buying ice cream. Miss Gura will also be here selling candy bars to raise money for the "Relay for Life." Please bring chairs or blankets to sit on during the movie. I look forward to seeing all that are attending!

Friday is the last day for turning in art entries for the Elementary Art Show. Please make sure the tag with all your child's information is attached.

We finished our book this morning. Please ask your child about the 'discovery' that Destiny finally made! We talked about all the discoveries that you can find in the Spring. As you are spending time together outdoors, please talk with your child about those discoveries that they may see or hear. It is so nice to enjoy the new beginnings of Spring!

Last call for "Green Team" placemat entries. All entries will be turned in on Thursday, March 31st. Good luck to all who enter!

Tomorrow we will finish our last chapter in our book, "Big Whopper." The main character, Destiny, confessed to Gina and Ms. Katz, the after-school teacher, that she told a big whopper. Gina started to cry, because of the guilty feeling that she had for telling a 'whopper'. Ms. Katz was proud of both girls for telling the truth. She explained it was better to tell the truth so that "your stomach does not get tied up in knots." Tomorrow, Destiny, will finally make a discovery for the discovery wall.

The students were given their "Act of Kindness" assignment for the week. Their kindness is to help with laundry. We talked about different ways to help which can be sorting the laundry, folding it, or putting the clean laundry away. If your house is anything like my house, this is a never-ending job. It was nice to see that a few students raised their hands to share that they already helped with laundry at their house this past weekend. Mrs. Hruby and I told them they could always come to our house to help!

Please return your reservations for Mother/Son Movie Night. It will be this Friday, April 1st.

I want to send a big "Thank you!" to Diane Kluchar, Callie Kopp and their committee for outdoing themselves for our "Spring Fling" last night. They decorated the gym with balloon arrangements and flower cut-outs. This area served as the dance floor and restaurant, where chicken nuggets, fruit, and punch were served. As the girls and their 'special guy' came into the gym, they had their picture taken. This was put into a frame that was decorated during the evening along with a flower pot that they painted. Our North P.T.O. is such a wonderful organization, without them , nights like these would not be possible. Thanks again to everyone who helped out and thanks to all the 'special guys' that came!

North Elementary will be hosting the annual Art Show on April 15th. Please encourage your child to submit art work so that it can be displayed throughout our building. There are 2 different categories for judging. The 1st category is for drawing and painting. The second category can be an assortment of art work such as sculpture, photograph, paper mache, or edible art. All entries need to be in to the school by April 1st with the 'Elementary Art Show' tag completed and attached to the art piece.

Ask your child if they completed their 'Random Act of Kindness' for this week, we'll talk about it tomorrow!

Popcorn Day!

Tomorrow, Mrs. Hay's 3rd grade class will be selling popcorn for 50 cents. This is part of their Economic unit and ties in with their Social Studies standards. This popcorn sale is a 4 part process starting with the students filling out a job application followed by advertising in the hallways of the school. Tomorrow, the 3rd graders will visit each classroom to take popcorn orders, deliver the popcorn, and collect money. The last step is sorting and counting the money from the sale. Mrs. Wittenauer's 3rd grade class will be selling popcorn in April. Thank you for supporting the "Poland Poppers!"

Thursday evening is Father/Daughter Night-put your dancing shoes on and we'll see you at 5:30!
