Tonight is our PTO's Chili's Give-Back Night. Please try to stop by Chili's restaurant between 4:00 and 10:00 pm. They will give 15% of total sales to our PTO. Please remember your flier so that North gets credit for the sale.

Our February PTO meeting will be at 9:00am Thursday morning. We will be discussing the Book Fair, Valentine treat, and presenting nominations for Officers. Beau Weaver, a Poland School Board member, will be here to answer any questions you may have regarding the upcoming levy.

Thanks for supporting our PTO and hope to see you tonight and tomorrow!

All week, during the lunch time, "Smencils" will be on sale for $1 each. All profits will be going towards our Relay for Life goal. The scented pencils will be sold by members of Team North. Please help support our Relay efforts and buy one of the 10 scented pencils this week. Thank you!

For their assignment this week, the boys and girls were to write a kind note to their parent and leave it in a place that they would find it. It was so nice to hear about the notes that many of you received. Some notes are still not found, so if you didn't get one keep looking for yours.
A PTO Officer Nomination reminder came home today. Please consider nominating yourself for one of the 5 Officer positions for next year. All nominations will be presented at our meeting on February 2nd. Thank you and have a great weekend!

Today the students are bringing home a pink informational sheet about PTO. On February 1st, our PTO will be having a Give-Back Night at Chili's Restaurant from 4:00-10:00. Chili's will be giving 15% of total sales to North's PTO. Please bring the flyer with you to the restaurant next Wednesday so that your sale will count. Also, our next PTO meeting will be held on February 2nd at 9:00 am. Beau Weaver, a Poland School Board member, will be here to answer any questions you may have concerning the upcoming levy. Hope to see many of you next Wednesday and Thursday!

Today was an exciting day for 8 lucky North students. They had lunch at Pizza Hut and rode there in style! A black SUV limo picked the group up at 11:00 and drove us to the restaurant. The 8 students were top sellers for our PTO fundraiser in the Fall. After our pizza, wings, bread sticks, and salad, the limo whisked us back to school. It was a fun-filled afternoon for all of us.

It was great to see how many students enjoyed the snow this weekend! Many built snowmen and went sled riding but the big winner was having a snowball fight! My family enjoyed some sled riding and snowboarding minus me. The cold temperatures are not my favorite.
The Act of Kindness assignment will be a surprise for parents this week. Be on the lookout for something nice to happen to you!

We have 1 more chapter to read in our book, Frankly, Frannie Doggy Day Care. The main character, Frannie and her best friend Elliott, caused some trouble for her family. They took her aunt's dog to the vet's office by themselves and the dog got loose causing chaos. By luck, their situation actually helped Frannie's Aunt Magoo get a deal selling her sock dolls at a toy store. We will find out Frannie's consequence and if she can officially become a vet in our last chapter.

The weekend looks like a good opportunity for building a snowman, going sledding, or having a snowball fight. It has been about 11 months seen we have had this chance, so enjoy the snow fun if you can.
