Hello Faith North Community!

Welcome back. I hope that all of you had a fun and rejuvenating spring break! The rain and sun are evidenced in our beautiful school gardens. The children are very proud of their work and amazed by the changes they are witnessing. A special thank you goes out to Tonie Basulto, our gardener at Shaw for assisting the children in the design and implementation of gardening spaces. It truly transforms our outdoors and creates a gentle calm and respect. We have a new chicken at Shaw as well as 3 new bunnies! We are having a coop built for our animal area so that we can add additional hens. It is our hope that egg gathering and animal care becomes a daily responsibility!

This week our elementary and middle school students are completing their bench mark assessments called the Galileo. This gives teachers vital information as they prepare our children for the Arizona Instrument for Measuring Standards or the AIMS test.

On Friday, March 5th, Coach Larson hosted “Jump Rope for Heart.” The children raised over $1200.00 for this cause! We spent the afternoon jumping rope and having a fun time as a school community. The payoff for this hard work was the opportunity to “pie” some willing staff members! The children looked on and cheered as whipped cream pies were delivered with love to the faces of 6 willing adults. Fun was had by all and a great community service was done by our children.

Please plan on joining us for an evening at the ballpark on April 23rd as the Arizona Diamondback play the Phillies, money is due by 3/26. The cost is $8.00 per person.

Warmest Regards,
Susan Engdall
Principal
