    Thank you Walmart!

    We were thrilled to welcome employees from our local Walmart to North Elementary this afternoon! They helped our Early Kindergarten students decorate pumpkins and spread plenty of Halloween cheer. They also came in hand with donations to our library and Halloween cookies for all! Thank you, Coach Carol Needham, Aurora Baumann, DJ Miller, and Vicky Steger for supporting our students and community!

Title I services may be short term or long term depending on the needs of each individual student. We are pleased to offer these services to help ALL of our students be successful.
