north junior high pto works to:
Support Students | Appreciate Educators | Create Community | Sponsor Fun
This is the last week for the little give!
We're getting very close to our goal of raising $5,500 by the end of September. As of today 69 people have given $3,235. Funds raised will primarily go to support student clubs and teacher appreciation. It's great to see the participation across the North community! If you haven't given yet, you can scan the QR code or click on the link below. If you have donated (thank you!), you can help again by spreading the word. If everyone asks their friends, we'll easily get to $5,500. Please consider giving $5, $10, $20 or $25. Every dollar counts! Thank you so much for supporting the North community through this fundraiser.
thank you to Independent meat Co.
School Spirit Assembly and Dance
Last week was the first assembly and dance of the school year. The dance was hosted by 9th grade AVID with PTO support for chaperones and snacks. Thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting the dance by filling up the sign up sheet! We had fourteen (fourteen!) parent chaperones and 63 parents brought snacks and drinks. All these ways of support make a big difference in the experience for students and teachers.
