Washington Mission
Bell Ringers
This year more than ever, we want to add some cheer and fun for our first graders.
We are so grateful to our Washington community and would like to give back to those in need.
The First Graders will be ringing a bell for the Salvation Army starting
November 30th through December 23rd to raise money for our community.
If you are able, please bring your extra change to help us meet our goal.
The first graders will ring the bell before school. They will stand in social distanced in the main hallway. Your child will be given an opportunity to walk down and put their donation in the kettle.
Thank you for helping us help others!
Mrs. Volrath’s, Mrs. Pochmara’s and Mrs. Sterling’s First Graders
Fill the Dome
Hi to all Spartan community,
On behalf of Fargo North Student Council students, I’m reaching out to share our plans for Fill the Dome 2020. We are using a Virtual Food Drive option and Fargo North students are hoping to rally our Spartan community to support the Great Plains Food Bank in this critical time when the demand is higher than ever and support is more scarce. Please open the attachment to learn more information.
