The Patriot Premier
The Weekly Update for NPHS families, Apr 20 - Apr 24, 2020
Break Up
Hello Patriots,
So if you're not putting on your break up boots and walking through puddles right now, you're missing out on a seasonal Alaskan tradition. Take it from our migratory friends who have winged their way back up to Alaska this week and are playing in the puddles at places like at Creamer's field (see picture below). The only difference...swans and geese don't have to observe the 14-day quarantine requirement for out-of-State travel. Welcome to Spring in the Interior: It's what you do.
Meanwhile, "back at the ranch," we are taking things day by day. Read below to find out the latest. Here's wishing you and your family all the best...and don't forget to do some puddle-stompin!
Sincerely,
John Fink
Interim Principal

• Parent Frequently Asked Questions here
• End of the Year Locker Pick Up Form here. Students, if you still have things in your locker, you have until the end of April to sign up to come to the school to get your things. Tuesdays and Thursdays are being dedicated to this (see form).
• Virtual Prom: Time to show off your prom outfits! If you post a picture of you in your prom attire and tag it #nphsprom2020 or email a photo to elizabeth.beks@k12northstar.org prior to April 22nd, we'll put together a Prom 2020 collage and share it on our NPHS FB page! And, if you weren't able to get prom attire and just want to post an appropriate selfie, we'll take that too.
• Textbook/Chromebook Return: We will begin collecting Chromebooks and textbooks at the school on Monday, April 27th. This will be done by observing all required safety protocols. More information in next week's Patriot Premier.
