A message from Mrs. Kylee Redford regarding Camp Invention:
Just like this very full bulletin board (thanks Mrs. Lightle for the help), all of the Camp Invention scholarship spots are filled. We have record numbers and unfortunately funding for scholarships has run out. Families can now choose to pay full price or get put on a scholarship wait list in case more funding can be secured.
Thank you to all the families for showing such interest. We look forward to a great week at camp June 7-11!!!
Every year, Mrs. Jeannie Cain, the library specialist at Northside Elementary, conducts a fundraiser for the Blackford County Animal Shelter. This year's fundraiser was just a little different, and as usual, Mrs. Cain made it special!
Thanks to the generosity of a number of local individuals who donated stuffed animals to Northside, Mrs. Cain was able to create a pet adoption center in the library! Not only were students able to adopt a stuffed animal pet for $2, they also were asked to read to their adopted pet.
Through the pet adoptions and sales of discovery bottles, Northside students raised $1,072 for the animal shelter. Students who read five stories to their adopted pet received a surprise. They were invited down to the lobby as Principal Craig Campbell and his dog, Maggie, read a special story.
Thanks to Mrs. Cain and all our Cub readers who participated in the fundraiser. We sure appreciate you!

How about a Final Four update from Northside Counselor Tiffany Ickes-Pauley:
"Monday will wrap up "College Madness" here at Northside. Every year during NCAA march madness, I host a "college madness" competition. I find this is the best way to get students and parents excited and talking about colleges/universities. Classes pick a team in the tournament and learn all about it. The classes can earn points if they make pennants, learn fun facts, answer trivia questions, make "when I go to college" booklets, find hidden basketballs around the school, learn school fight songs etc. This year, 15 students won college themed prizes for trivia and the classroom with the highest points will also win a prize. Competition and smack talk about who will win is high in 1st grade hall. I also just love learning new facts about universities all over our country. Did you know Baylor has a small zoo on campus or that Houston had a live cougar mascot from 1947 to 1989?
Congratulations to the Baylor Bears and Miss Carissa Carter's class!"
What a fun lesson!
Be sure to check out the Baylor Fight Song by Miss Carter's class

Check out the outstanding efforts of Mrs. Abby Fullenkamp's class at Northside!
"We haven’t been able to go outside for recess since Christmas break. So, we found an inside recess project to complement our Black History Month unit. The kids worked so hard on this... They were so concerned about staying in the lines so the pictures would fit together perfectly. I’m so proud of them, and we learned a lot! - Mrs. Fullenkamp
#BlackHistoryMonth
Cubs spread the ❤️
Northside has been working hard to show support and kindness to two groups: military members across the globe and children in foster care across the country. Students made 599 pieces of art and letters to spread this love across the world.
