Mrs. Lively’s First Graders Take a Virtual Field Trip with Amazon Future Engineer
Mrs. Lively’s first-grade class recently participated in a virtual field trip through the Amazon Future Engineer program, where they explored how Amazon Fulfillment Centers operate. Students learned how technology and people work together to move packages from online orders to homes around the world.
This was a pilot activity to see if it might be a good fit to share with other classes and Mrs. Lively’s students were the perfect test group! They were engaged, attentive, and excited to see how real-world technology connects to what they learn in school.
Join us TONIGHT, Wednesday, November 5th, from 5–6 PM for our Family Night Drive-Thru at North Elementary’s Circle Drive!
🚗 Swing through to grab a bag full of reading goodies from our Title I team!
*** While supplies last
We can’t wait to see our Memorial and North families tonight! 💜💛

What an incredible day at North Elementary!
Our classrooms were filled with some of the bravest readers around, local first responders! From deputies and police officers to firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers, and Dunn’s Ambulance crews, these heroes took time out of their busy day to visit, read, and connect with our students.
Thank you for sharing your time, your stories, and your service to keep Taylorville safe! 🌟

North School had some very special visitors the last couple of weeks! 🚓🚑🚒 (Part 1 of 2)
Our local first responders, including deputies, police officers, paramedics, firefighters, Dunn’s Ambulance, and dispatch members , stopped by to read to our students and share about their important roles in keeping our community safe. 💙
The students loved hearing their stories and learning more about how each of them helps others every single day. A huge thank you to all who took the time to visit, read, and inspire our Tornado students. We appreciate your service, dedication, and commitment to protecting and caring for our community! 💜💛
