Dear Huskie Families,
Thank you to all of our parents who volunteered their time this weekend to make our annual Senior Celebration a huge success! We are on the road to the end of the 22-23 school year and events like this will show our student body that we rejoice in their hard work and dedication to being Huskies!
As we are wrapping up this school year, we also look to the future and are busy planning for the next one. We welcome our next class of Huskies, the Class of 2027, on May 1st with our Freshman Jamboree. It is, as always, an exciting time to be a Huskie!
Thank you for entrusting your children to us,
Stephanie Posey

New Event: A Pint for Kim Blood Drive and Life Saving Festival - May 13, 2023
The region’s largest grass-roots blood donation awareness movement is moving to Naperville North High School. The group, “A Pint For Kim”, was created in 2020 by Naperville mom Kimberley Benedyk Sandford in her final weeks of life. She wanted to give purpose to her eight year battle with cancer, and so she wanted her family and friends to use her story to spread awareness that the largest use of donated blood goes to cancer patients.
Now that Kim’s two boys are both at Naperville North High School, the 4th Annual A Pint For Kim Blood Drive & Life Saving Festival will move to the school on May 13th. In addition to being the largest one-day, one-location blood drive in the state, the event includes live bands, food trucks, a super-car show, games, and more. The event is free and open to the public.
Currently the organization is seeking items for their free raffle. Every blood donor and event volunteer gets 10 raffle tickets to an exclusive raffle that previously has had over $30,000 in prizes annually. The organization does not raise money, so no extra tickets are sold. It is just an added incentive for those who come out to donate blood in Kim’s memory.
Visit www.apintforkim.com for more information or contact Kim’s sister Kristyn Benedyk at apintforkim2023@gmail.com if your family, business, or team is interested in donating a raffle item.Any Naperville North students who wish to volunteer can do so through a Signup Genius link that will be available soon.
