Notes from the North Campus – 2.12.21

From your north campus principal, Ann Taylor

Happy Valentine’s Day on Sunday and relaxing mid-winter break!

It was a full week for all on north campus starting with a wet/icy morning on Monday. We had initial round of speech meet presentations in students’ classrooms with finals on Wednesday (see results below). In addition, teachers and staff were treated to coffee via Snow S’more Coffee truck (organized by Jamie Howell, community coordinator – thanks much!) on Monday and reschedule for Tuesday to Thursday, February 19 due to weather (which was a nice warm treat for all on cold days). The north community had our first Spirit Day of the month on Wednesday. I hope everyone has a relaxing even if the weather isn’t the best mid-winter break next Monday and Tuesday (February 15 & 16). Thank you all for your continued support of all at The Academy district wide.

NOTES: NO UNIFORM DAY, Wednesday, February 17

This was a leftover from the five-month spring break of 2020! At the Auction in 2019, the Capucille Family won the bidding for the north campus “No Uniform Day” for 2019-20. Needless to say the COVID lock down came before our scheduled day, SO we will be having a north campus “No Uniform Day on Wednesday, February 17th. All students and staff may wear jeans (not torn or having holes) or other appropriate attire in keeping with the general standards of The Academy. This will be a fun way to return to studies after the mid-winter break.

NORTH SPEECH MEET RESULTS

Again I thank all parents for making the great effort to get your student to north campus on Wednesday so we could have 100% participation!!!!

First and Second Grades Speech Meet:

Third-Fifth Grades Speech Meet:

So proud of our first through fifth graders for the gallant effort to memorize and present their speech meet choices. They are surely growing as fine orators in preparation for dialectic and rhetoric. Delight in the Lord even with all the opportunities He has provided this season in our school year. Please continue to monitor your student’s health and temperature to protect all.
