We want to recognize our dedicated PE teachers, Mrs. Hickey and Mrs. Curtin, for bringing an exciting global challenge to our K-2 students at North and our 5th-grade students at the TJHS!
They organized their PE classes to participate in the Annual World Record STACK UP event. This is an international attempt to beat the record for the "Most People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations," aiming for more than 752,632 participants!
Our students had a blast learning, stacking, and contributing their effort to this massive, cooperative world record attempt. It's more than just stacking, it's about coordination, focus, and being part of something bigger!
🥁 Drumroll, please! 🥁 Announcing our shining North School Star Students of November! These amazing individuals have earned a spot in the Hall of Fame this month for their dedication, kindness, and hard work. Give a huge cheer for our Stars!

It's better late than never for these awesome photos! Mrs. Rahar brought a huge dose of Halloween fun (and a spooky friend!) to the North School Library in October, and our students had a blast!
Watch out for a very mysterious special guest in these candid class pictures: Mrs. Rahar’s friendly skeleton pal! She clearly loves books. Can you spot her? She pops up right next to students in some photos, but he's a master of hide-and-seek and totally disappears into the background in others!
Thanks to Mrs. Rahar for making the library so much fun! Enjoy these awesome, spooky surprises!
We apologize for the delay, but we simply had to share these October moments from Mrs. Rahar’s library!
These "better late than never" photos capture the students enjoying a fun, Halloween-themed session among the stacks. Look closely, and you might spot a very unique (and surprisingly helpful) friend of Mrs. Rahar's, a friendly skeleton who clearly loves reading as much as our students do! She appears prominently in some class pictures, only to mysteriously disappear into the background in others.
We appreciate Mrs. Rahar for fostering such a fun and engaging environment. We hope these photos bring a little bit of spooky cheer to your November!
Students are: Owen Busboom, Alex Davis, Payton Eyman, Brody Garrett, Lillie Jones, Madison King, Madelyn Lamb, Lauren Metcalf, Justine Murphy, Jaylee Smith, and Robyn Ward
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!

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! 🌟
