We Want to Take a Moment to Thank You!
THANK YOU for your support in making this such a memorable year.
As we head into summer, I want to begin by thanking you for your support throughout our school year. As we reflect on the many adventures we have taken together, there is much to celebrate. With your help, we were able to provide several learning experiences and opportunities for our students and staff. You have generously shared over 7,000 volunteer hours helping us. Isn't that amazing? Our North community is a very special place to learn and grow.
For our families that will be returning in August, we look forward to seeing you soon! To our families that are taking new adventures in the fall, please remember, “Once a Husky, Always a Husky”. Continue to “show what you know”. #northpride
Have a healthy, safe, and relaxing summer vacation!
Warm regards,
Michelle Barrett, Principal
