Welcome to Kidsville - Population Mrs. Julia Duncan's class!
Students in Mrs. Duncan's first grade class at Northside have been busy working on their Community Day projects for STEM. Students researched different jobs that they could do in the community and worked on engineering a box into a building that goes along with their job.
What a fun lesson! #Kidsville




The first graders in Mrs. Amanda Wolfe's class at Northside are simply glowing! Yesterday, students were able to glow and show what they know!
What a fun way to learn!



It was Career Day yesterday at Northside Elementary with a number of special guests (all former BHS graduates) sharing about what they do for a living. Guests included: Andy Carvel, Hartford City Public Works; Olivia (Cale) Messer, Granny's Bloomers; Amy Smith, Hartford City Public Library, Ed Thurman, WPGW Radio; and Melany (Rarey) Sherril, personal trainer.
Thank you to everyone who made this a special day of learning for our students!





Camp Read-A-Lot has been underway in Mrs. Cristi Aulbach's 2nd grade class at Northside. According to Mrs. Aulbach, students have enjoyed their classroom transformed into a camping wonderland! They have been reading with finger flashlights under their "tents" as they complete their camp-related reading and math activities. Why, there's even s'more snack mix to add to the adventure! What an excellent way to end an amazing 2nd grade year!
Way to go, Cubs!

Does your child need immunizations? Is your student going to be in athletics?
If so, join us at BJSHS on Monday May 16th from 2:30-5:30 for the Open Door clinic.
A parent must be present for all immunizations to be administered as well as a consent for treatment being signed. If your student is 18 years old they do not need a parent present.
Student and athletic physicals will be offered during this clinic also for $25.00 that must be paid at the time of the clinic.
Please enter through the Sutton Center entrance, door 17 and you will be directed from there.
Any questions please call Amy Sargent corporation nurse at 765-348-7560. You may also pick up a consent form from your school's health office prior to the clinic.


It's sure to be a great show!
