From the Principals...
Reminder that there will be no school from November 23rd to 25th due to our Thanksgiving Break. During this time of gratitude, we would like to thank everyone for their continued partnership in ensuring we are meeting the needs of all our students! We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Break with their loved ones!

12th Annual Adopt-a-Family - It's better to give than to receive celebration!!
All Unit 5 schools were invited to nominate families in need this holiday season. Last year, we adopted 150 Unit 5 families providing coats, hats, gloves, outfits, toys, gift cards, and many other household items and toiletries. This year, the number in need tops even that. If you are interested in helping, please go to a signup (below), click the item you would like to purchase, label the gift (example: Snowflake Child #1) and bring the gift wrapped and labeled.
The drop off will be on from 3-6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, at Northpoint Elementary School. Participants will drive thru and drop off gifts in the Northpoint Parking Lot. Unit 5 volunteers will be available to take your gifts into the gym.
You can also drop off gifts on Mondays-Fridays from 7:30 am–4 pm at the Unit Office, until Dec. 8.
If you would like to volunteer to deliver gifts, Saturday, December 10, starting at 8:30 am, please click here.
