Wow! What a busy October we had here at North!
Our two-week Make a Difference food drive for the Fairfield Food Pantry collected 2,790 pounds of food which is equal to $5,720! The generosity of the North community never ceases to amaze me. There are many families with stocked cupboards thanks to you. You all should feel very proud! Congratulations to Mrs. Plaugher’s class for collecting the most with 321 food items! They will be treated to a pizza party this month. Thank you to all volunteers who came in every morning to collect and count the items!
Once again, Mrs. Begley did an outstanding job putting on another successful Book Fair. The kids just love to be able to shop for quality books themselves right at school. If you missed your chance to shop, don’t worry, she will be having another in the spring!
This year we held our first annual Masquerade March Walk-a-Thon. We kicked it off with a masquerade mask decorating contest. We collected over 400 masks and each and every one was just amazing! Ms. Montgomery chose the winners and you definitely did not make her job easy. Congratulations to everyone.
The rest of the month the students collected pledges for the Walk-a-Thon. All together they collected an outstanding $14,000! They went above and beyond any of our expectations! The North PTC gets 100% of it to help benefit our students and community. The Walk-a-Thon on the 28th went off without a hitch. All of the students walked the track at their recess and jammed to the music provided by D.J. Corey Calla. It was wonderful to see our Fairfield Township Firefighters out there supporting our kids while they walked. The kids were very excited to see them!
All of the students looked so great in their costumes. It was almost impossible to choose the winners.
The teachers and staff also looked great in their costumes. I had to choose a group winner and it wasn’t easy, but I chose the “Specials Teachers.” They dressed up as Wizard of Oz and even had the flying monkeys! Congrats to them and they will get a catered lunch provided by Flavors Restaurant.
Help your planet while helping your school at the same time!
