Super soaked! Principal Craig Campbell and School Counselor Tiffany Ickes-Pauley were good sports yesterday as buckets of water were dumped on their heads at Northside School to celebrate the end of the school year!
There's nothing like a beach party to kick off the last day of school at BJSHS! (Our local beach bums are teachers Aaron Bagley and Holden Berlin.) Way to kick off the day with some beach vibes!

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!

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!
