Garden Club
The next garden club meeting will be Wednesday September 14th at 3:30pm. We will harvest tomatoes, green beans and hopefully pumpkins. We meet at the garden, which is located in a courtyard area on the west side of the building. Parents need to remain with their children but are not obligated to participate. Keep in mind they will have their hands in the garden so they might get a little dirty! Contact hannahpfaff@gmail.com or northgardencl@gmail.com to get on the email list or with any questions.
Wee Deliver
The North School Wee Deliver Post Office is about to open for the 2022-2023 school year! For those parents not familiar, the Wee Deliver program is a post office set up for the students and ran by the 3rd and 4th graders of North Elementary. All students and staff use the post office to send notes, letters, or pictures to friends, teachers, and staff throughout the school year. Parents are also encouraged to send in cards/letters to be delivered to their child’s classroom. Applications for 3rd and 4th grade students interested in working for Wee Deliver will come home the week of September 12th and will be due on Friday, September 16th.

Once the background check is complete and the application has been approved, a confirmation email will be sent. Information about the new volunteer process, including a link to the volunteer application, can be found here.
