The inaugural edition of the SM North Brickhouse yearbooks were distributed to seniors following graduation and to underclassmen during computer check in.

If you did not receive your yearbook, they are available for pick up in the SM North office, Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. through June 16.

The yearbook company also sent extra books that are for sale in the office for $65 or through purchase at www.yearbookforever.com. Books purchased online can also be picked up in the office.

Thanks,

The 2022 Brickhouse yearbook staff

The SM Newspaper students worked to put together some photo galleries for the North newspaper website. They finished today with photos from graduation. Take a moment to look at them; they are posted at the top of the site.

There are also some great photo stories on:

• the dance team carwash
• 8th grade orientation
• Choir Pops Concert
• Spring Band Concert
• ART’s performance of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Contest

In addition, if you check out the Anna Abroad tab, the most two recent stories of Anna Meisner’s year in Germany include how the Ukraine War is seen from in Germany and Spring Break for German high school students.

And if you haven’t seen Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness yet, there is a great review that might have you deciding to take in a movie over summer break.

Seniors and Senior Parents/Guardians,

The ceremony will be be streamed live on YouTube.

Edited versions of the ceremonies will be rebroadcast on Spectrum Cable channel 2, Spectrum Cable Channel 18, and Consolidated Communications channel 18 in the summer.

Celebrate the tradition of Shawnee Mission North! Legacy Bricks are a great way to honor students, alumni, and staff!

For a tax deductible donation of $45, an engraved brick will be added to the Legacy Brick Courtyard, located just outside the SMN stadium/pool entrance.

Please complete a separate form for each brick ordered. If you have questions, or need additional information, please email smnboosterclub@yahoo.com or pdblood@sbcglobal.net.

If your student is planning on going into an Honors or AP class for next fall, there is a Summer Reading Assignment! These are constructed to help the students be prepared for the rigor and discipline of an upper-level class. We hope your summer is filled with lots of fun, adventure, and some good reading.
