Cookie Dough

Its time for our annual cookie dough fundraiser. The packets should be coming home with your children this week. We will run the sale until March 9th and all packets with money and selling sheets need to be turned into your child's teacher on that date. Cookie dough pick up will be on March 25th from 3:30 to 5:30. Please support us in this fundraiser and help raise money for a new electronic marquee for our school.

1st Annual North Elementary Spelling Bee

The North Elementary PTA is very excited to host our first annual spelling bee. Each class will have their own competition and get the top two winners who will advance to the school spelling bee. First through third graders will compete for two school winners and fourth and fifth graders will compete for two winners who will advance to the district competition. (only 4th and 5th graders will advance to the district competition) Students who are interested may obtain a spelling list from their teachers to practice at home, or download them from the schools website. The school spelling bees will be on March 31, for the first through third grades and on April 1, for the fourth and fifth grades. We are really excited about this new tradition for our school and our district. Please support and encourage your students to participate.

We will be following the "scripps" style competition and using words from their spelling lists for our competition. Once we are registered with scripps we will be able to send our district winner to the state to compete in the Utah Spelling Bee. (that will not be in place for this years district winner) For a copy of rules and regulations please contact your students teacher.

Kite Flight

It is time again for our annual Kite Flight reading contest. We will be partnering with the Lion's Club again this year for this fun event. Your child will receive a reading chart by Jan. 30th, and must read the required number of hours for the duration of the event. At the conclusion of the event there will be the actual Kite Flight on April 30th from 10:00 to 3:00 at Park Discovery. The kids will need to bring their completed reading chart in order to get their free kite. Please help us with your participation in this fun event. Last year without our schools participation and the generous donation from this event we would not have been able to get our new playground. We look forward to another successful event!

Santa's Workshop

This year we will be having a fun new addition for the holidays. We will be holding Santa's workshop during lunch each day starting Dec 14th through Dec 17th. The kids will be able to purchase items for Christmas for family or friends and little cost. We will help them wrap the items to take home for the big day. This is not a fundraiser, all items will be sold for cost. This is something new we are trying as a service for the kids. Watch for a letter to come home with more details about this fun holiday event. As always thanks for your support in making our school great.

Parent Training

North Elementary and the PTA will be holding a parent training on November 18th, from 6:00 until 8:00 at the school. There will be a light meal served and each family in attendance will receive an educational package to take home worth $25. We are super excited about this program and the kids will love the take home gift. We will be providing child care for the training portion of the program and the kids get to eat too. Please come and see what this training has to offer your family.
