Some of North High’s woodworking students went on special field trip last week to Rockler Woodworking and Hardware. The students have been working in partnership with Rockler over the past month to build wood bluetooth speakers.

Rockler’s aim for this project was to engage with students who connect through working with their hands and introduce them to a new lifelong hobby and possible career paths in the skilled trades.

The students also had the opportunity to custom engrave the North High School logo on their speakers and test out their speakers by playing the school fight song.

Check out the feature on KARE 11.

And on KSTP.

Stay tuned for more updates and exciting events celebrating the arts in our district!

A few more volunteers are needed for our 2nd annual Financial Game Day at Tartan High School! On Tuesday, May 7 all students in 11th grade are invited to participate in a fun, engaging financial game day where, using an online app, students learn what it's like to manage finances within the structure of a paid job and family. Students are SHOCKED at how much things cost, which makes it a really fun day for the volunteers.

Minnesota has identified cases of measles in children who recently returned to the U.S. after traveling internationally. The decline in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage, coupled with the increase in measles disease nationally and internationally, puts Minnesota at risk of additional measles cases and a measles outbreak.

MDH has information about measles and the MMR vaccine: https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/measles/measlesfacts.html

If your child has any symptoms, please contact your medical provider and school nurse.
