 Mighty North Star Readers
North teachers, parents and students worked hard during the 2007-2008 school year to raise enough money to purchase North Star Reading Club t-shirts for the entire school! On Friday, March 21, 2008, North students showed their amazing school spirit and great love for reading by wearing their new t-shirts to the special author visit. We are proud of our North Star Readers! |
Remember to Collect Your Box Tops! North students turn Box Tops in monthly. All classrooms have an opportunity to win the "Box Top Traveling Trophy", one of the most coveted trophies around! All box tops are worth 10 cents a piece and help fund our playground projects. One of the best ways to collect Box Tops is to ask your grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles and friends to help you collect them! |
