North School would like to extend a THANK YOU to our incredible community partners, local businesses, and families who have generously contributed to our North School Playground Project!
🎉 A special shout-out to Nebraska Bank for their generous $5,000 donation! 🎉
We are grateful for Nebraska Bank's investment in our students and school community. Your generosity is helping us move one step closer to creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive playground where our students can learn, play, build friendships, and make lasting memories!
🛝 Our goal is to bring our new playground to life in Summer 2027! We continue to work toward this exciting project through grants, school fundraisers, and generous donations from our community.
At North School, we are fortunate to be part of a community that truly believes in investing in our students. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference, and together we are making this dream a reality!
If you or your business would like to support the North School Playground Project or learn more about our fundraising efforts, please contact Dr. Leyden.
🧡🖤 THANK YOU, Nebraska Bank, and THANK YOU to our community for continuing to invest in the future of our North School students!
The students especially loved hearing the thunder drum! We also talked about weather safety, including what to do during thunder, lightning, and hail. The presenter also covered tornado safety, including having a weather radio at home, water to drink, flashlights, a couple small tools and knowing where to go during a tornado. A big thank you to Jennifer Clason for sharing her time and knowledge with us.
Families, we encourage you to talk at home about severe weather and tornado safety, such as checking that you have a weather radio and choosing your family's safe spot.
Through hands-on activities and educational presentations, students explored where our food comes from, learned about plants and livestock, and discovered the many ways agriculture impacts our communities. It was a fun day filled with learning!
None of this would be possible without P.I.E.! We are so thankful for them always sponsoring student opportunities and field trips.
