Hello Faith North Community,
This was the most bountiful teacher appreciation week I have seen in my many years of instruction. There was an amazing outpouring of kindness and generosity from our parents and children. The entire staff has enjoyed the breakfast and lunch goodies. Thank you so much for honoring the staff and the work they do. They are truly amazing as are each of you!
Awesome! Super fun! were just two word/phrases used by our 3rd years in response to the day trip to Sky Y to Prescott on Wednesday. They boarded a charter bus at 7:00 AM and spent the day orienteering, learning outdoor survival skills, canoeing and hiking. They learned to play Ga-Ga ball and Take the Tail during free time. The evening brought a campfire with smores. Back onto the bus and back home by 10:30. Thanks to all of our tax credit donors that helped make this trip possible.
On Monday, our upper elementary children leave for a three day Catalina Island adventure. Their learning experiences will be, learning about underwater seismology, underwater archaeology and coring. They will be building small subs and experimenting with wave physics, energy transfer and water chemistry. The last day they will go on an Island Ecology Tour. Thanks to our tax credits bus transportation has been provided for the students and staff. I am sure many memories will be made during these three days.
