Hello Faith North Community,
Wednesday we had a great celebration of our cultural community. We showed our pride in the “Small World Parade” then shared in “A Small World Potluck.” There were some amazing presentations on countries and cultures around the world as well as some beautiful Native American projects by the students and the food was diverse, remarkable and yummy.
This month’s site council meeting will be devoted entirely to a discussion of the future of Faith North as it relates to the two
campuses. Doug Allsworth, Faith North parent and Phoenix Elementary School Board Member will be in attendance to:
* gather our perspective on this important topic
* share any insights he has from the District
Please attend, November 3 at 5pm in the Faith North Main library, prepared with your thoughts, questions, ideas and concerns on the
matter.
Then join us for a PTA meeting in the multi-use room at 6:00. Attendance at these meetings counts towards your volunteer hours too. Pizza and childcare are provided.
Please plan on attending our Fall Festival on Saturday, November 6th from 2:00-5:00This will be a fun event for the whole family with classroom booths, a rock climbing wall, inflatable bounce houses, a cake walk and lots of great food and company. We need cakes for the cake walk and folks to help set up and clean up. If you would like to volunteer please contact Rebecca Sanchez at rsanchez05ssr@aol.com
All the best!

Hello Faith North Community,
What a great Game Night we had last Friday. We had a full multi-use room, great food and some tremendous prizes! Our own assistant office manager Teresa Carreon won the 50/50 raffle and treated the staff to some breakfast goodies this week! Saturday, the events committee was already working on the Fall Festival at a meeting held in C. Steele Park. This will also be a fun event for the whole family with a rock climbing wall, inflatable bounce houses, classroom booth, a cake walk and lots of great food. Please plan on joining us on Saturday, November 6th from 2:00-5:30. If you would like to volunteer please contact Rebecca Sanchez at rsanchez05ssr@aol.com
On Wednesday, October 27th we will be celebrating United Nations Day. This is a day designed to celebrate our diverse cultural community. Your child should choose one that is either prevalent in your family or one that you and your child would like to learn about. With your child, put together a traditional costume or parts of one that they may wear that day for our “Small World Parade.” Then, prepare a food that is also symbolic of the heritage the child represents to bring and share in “A Small World Potluck.” Festivities begin with a parade at 10:45 at North. On the FNM@Shaw campus the Elementary parade will be held at 9:45 and the primary parade at 10:45. Then the potlucks will be enjoyed by the children in their respective classrooms. Parents are welcome!
All the best!

Our mission is to provide a solid academic foundation employing the philosophy of Maria Montessori within a loving, respectful and supportive community.
Through Cosmic Education we give the child a vision of the whole universe
All children experience maximum learning potential or windows of optimum learning at various times
All children are motivated to learn, multiple and divergent intelligences are honored and recognized
The celebration and respect of diversity is critical
The child’s hand is his teacher—experiential learning is essential to internalization
The prepared environment is a student centered, learner-centered environment
Self-discipline is achieved through natural consequences and peace education
The dignity of labor and purposeful movement is vital and encouraged
Hello Faith North Community,
As I write, our children are having their pictures taken. As you might imagine, our 3 year olds are not quite certain they like that idea! We have resorted to puppetry and any other gimmick we can think of to get a quick smile. Hopefully, you will be pleased with the end results. If not, retakes will be scheduled, the date is pending.
All of us are looking forward to the Spaghetti Dinner and game night scheduled for this evening. Stop by and enjoy some big fun with your children and get to know some other of the great families that make up our community. I would like to take a moment to thank the events committee headed by Rebecca Sanchez for their great planning. Chef Alvin Tamura and parent helpers have prepared spaghetti and salad for thousands!
Wednesday we held our Site Council and PTA meeting. I cannot stress the importance of being a part of these meetings. It shows your children that you are committed to their school and their education. It also allows you to be a part of the decision process in factors that affect our school. Please plan on joining us every month. It will count towards your 10 hours of service. Our next meeting will be held on the Faith North campus on Wednesday, November 3rd. As always, child care and pizza will be provided.
Our goal this year for tax credit donations is a lofty $30,000.00! As of the October 1st we have collected $3,600.00. Please remember that no amount is too small. These donations may be dropped off in the Faith North school office or done on the district website at phxschools.org
All the best!
