For the past couple of months, Mara Chamblin Volpe’s class have been hard at work on a special Literacy Project!

They were asked a big question: “What is your favorite book?” and they used their incredible creativity to bring their answers to life!
Their projects included:

✨ Posters showcasing their favorite books
🦖 Sculptures of their favorite characters
🏡 Dioramas recreating the settings of the stories

By transforming their reading into tangible art, they aren't just learning to read stories, they are experiencing them, visualizing the worlds, and bringing the characters to life! We are so proud of your hard work! 🥰

At Northern Elementary, we know our car line runs best when everyone works together. Today we had to recognize one parent who took “problem solving” to the next level. 😂

Congratulations to Lindsay Harreld Cohlmeyer, our unofficial Car Line Rule Follower of the Year!

When her car tag went missing, she did not panic. She did not hold up the line. She created her own handmade replacement and kept things moving smoothly for everyone.

We appreciate the creativity, humor, and commitment to keeping our car line safe and efficient. Thanks for being such a great sport, Lindsay!
