Hi North Families,
Can you believe that another year is coming to a close? This is such an exciting time of year as we head into summer. We want to thank you for your continued partnership, encouragement, and team effort. There have been many new opportunities for our students that would not have been possible without you. Our Husky Quest is one of the many examples of how we worked together to achieve success and have fun together.
We want to extend best wishes to our students, staff, and families who will be on new adventures in the fall. Continue to share your Husky Pride and make sure to come back to visit us.
Enjoy your time this summer, and we encourage you to relax and recharge. May the warmth of summer bring joy, happiness, and new memories.
Warm regards,
Michelle Barrett
