In their first week of 7th grade Art, students in Mr. Hamilton’s classes explore modules to see if they can beat the challenge with the resources available. Can they build a structure that all in the group can stand up in?

Happy New Year! As we begin 2023, we wish for peace, love and laughter each and every day.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, and very best wishes for the New Year.
5th grade students read "Pay It Forward" by Catherine Ryan Hyde and decided to have a Penny War between classes to raise money for a charity. Each student researched and selected a charity to write a persuasive essay trying to convince their classmates their charity should be selected for the donation. The students raised $942.91! The charities selected were the American Cancer Society and the Iowa City Children's Hospital. The winning essays were from Lily Putnam, Sean Hayes, Adler VanOpdorp, Sofie Diebold and Brooke Herington. Congrats!!

3rd Grade students at Northside put on a Goods and Services Fair in the collaboration lab. Students did a great job presenting their product and we had lots of visitors from the community and school. Definitely some future sales people right here.
"Wrestling is a sport that’s for everyone," says Carley Rusk, head coach of the high school's new girls wrestling club.
“It doesn’t matter how athletic, fast or strong you are, there’s a spot for you," adds Rusk. "It doesn’t matter if it’s your first time on the mat or you’ve been on it for five years. We welcome everyone and encourage them to try something new. We want to help you, empower you, and ensure you have fun along the way.”
