Team Building – We continue to work toward the school mission. In anticipation of the launch of the North School Anti-bullying Program, we had a leadership and team-building afternoon with our 5th graders and 12 student leaders from 4th grade. It was a great afternoon and the students experienced team-work and writing on it. A special thank you to the Lattof YMCA for bringing this program out our school.

Lunchtime Encore Enrichment Program – The fun and learning continues this year with the North School Lunchtime Encore Enrichment Program. This semester the students are participating in Zumba Classes provided by the Lattof YMCA, dance classes, frisbee golf, computer classes, typing and technology classes and crafts, just to name a few. It is great to see the students in productive programs enjoying themselves and expanding their language and experiences.

Annual Halloween Sock Hop was a big hit. This sold-out event attracted more than 500 attendees and featured two hours of exhilarating music, delicious food, silent auction, and various raffle prizes. The children came in their costumes and danced the night away and did not want to go home at the end. Many of our former students also came and enjoyed the evening with their siblings and friends. Many thanks to our PTO for making this year's Sock Hop a huge success.

Chicago Architecture/Skyscrapers – The $1,000 grant for this proposal will provide funding for 75 fifth grade students at North School to attend a fieldtrip to take a Wendella Boat Tour, where they will view architecture they have studied and researched in art class. The goal of this unit of study is to integrate literacy and science along with fine arts. Recipient: North Elementary School, Abraham Lee
