Mrs. Rahar, our librarian, shared several Monarch Award–winning books with our K–2 classrooms over the past few months. Teachers read and explored these wonderful stories with their students, and now it was time for each class to vote for their favorite!
We love seeing our young readers engaging with great literature and having a voice in the voting process!

Mrs. Deetz’s first graders jumped right into our Valentine STEM Centers and showed off their growing coding skills! Using color patterns and sequencing, students programmed our Indi robots to complete festive challenges. It’s amazing to watch their confidence build as they test, revise, and try again. 💕🤖
Take a peek at the slideshow/video on FB to see their hard work in action!
Ms. Williams’ first graders kicked off our February Valentine STEM Centers this week! Students put their color-coding skills to work as they programmed our Indi robots to travel through themed pathways and challenges. It was so fun to see them apply the skills we’ve been practicing and work together to problem-solve, adjust, and celebrate success. 💕🤖

Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am so excited to share that our students at North Elementary are learning how to tie their shoes!
Tying shoes is an important life skill that builds independence, confidence, and responsibility. While it can take time and practice, I know our students are capable — and I can’t wait to celebrate their success.
I would truly appreciate your support at home. Please take a few minutes to watch the short video below with your child and practice together. A little encouragement and repetition go a long way!

When your child can independently tie their shoes and show me their new skill, they will:
• Become a member of our Shoe Tying Club
• Sign the “Shoe Tying Club” wall
• Receive a special prize
Thank you for partnering with me to help your child grow in confidence — one loop, swoop, and pull at a time!
With excitement,
Mrs. Hickey 💜🌪️
