Principal's message - week 16
Greetings North Plains Families!
What a great week with Right Brain Artist Karie Oaks! Students had a great time glazing their projects and we have been busy getting that 2nd firing going. Thank you again to parent Eddie Arellano for all of his work loading and unloading the kiln. And thank you to the many volunteers in the classrooms this week! I know you will all enjoy the beautiful clay projects that will be coming home before winter break.
Another thank you to parent Jose Orozco who continually updates the lost and found link, see below, and also helps create all the links for my documents in this newsletter. I couldn't do it without you!
One more huge thank you to parent Tiffany Stampflee for organizing the fund run that was back in Sept. Your children raised over $9600.00 which will go toward technology needs and STEM activities. Thank you to the many volunteers who came out on that rainy day, and so many who also gave financial support.

Top runners: Boy - Jack Wolfe, Girl - Averie Duyck and Molly Wolfe

Top runners by grade: 1st - Wen Scesa and Sophia Barker. 2nd Grayson Pierce, Aurelia Bethune and Alice Towell. 3rd Daniel Hernandez Macias and Aishwary Santhosh Nag. 4th Tyler Rogers and Molly Wolfe. 5th Jack Wolfe and Emma Gregg. 6th TJ Vandehey, Emmanuel Kiprotich, and Averie Duyck.
