On Friday, North students participated in a classroom spelling bee to determine who will be attending the school spelling bee. Congratulations to Abel Flax for taking first place! The other participants attending the school spelling bee in Bazine on Wednesday the 12th at 1:00 are Kaleb Dierking, Kamden Flax, Taydm McDonald, Jensen Perdue, and Mollie Tillitson. We hope to see you there!

We hoped to get things delivered by Christmas but due to the delay in shipping it will be 6-8 weeks so we will just miss the deadline.

Our music teacher, Denice Flax, will be taking her 4th Grade Recorder Club and her 5th Grade Band to see the Hays Symphony’s Children’s Concert on Sunday, October 31st! 🎃 At 1:30, the kids will enjoy fun, hands-on activities with different instruments, Halloween crafts, and a costume parade. Then at 2:30 the Hays Symphony will play a concert of six spooky songs. The kids will get home in plenty of time to go trick-or-treating, making this Halloween THE BEST EVER! 👻 Parents of 4th/5th Grade students need to call or text Mrs. Flax as soon as possible to let her know whether or not your child is going. Her number is on the information letter that she sent home, or you can call the school and leave a message.
Mrs. Flax wants EVERYONE to know that this concert is FREE! But you have to order your free tickets online and show them at the door. (Either paper or digital tickets are accepted.) Just go to this website for more information: hayssymphony.org
