Last Thursday, St. Mark's Church treated our North High School and District Education Center staff to a delicious breakfast! Thank you!

Tartan student Simone Chounlamontry and North student Siri Johnson both had work featured at the state fair. Simone had both a marker drawing and a ceramic piece featured, and Siri had a poetry collection. They both received blue ribbons for their work.

A new after school program for middle schoolers - F.L.I.G.H.T. (Future Leaders Inspiring Growth, Honor and Talent) will begin this fall.

Registration will open by the end of the day tomorrow, Sept. 4.

This program is paid for by the Minnesota Department of Education After-School Community Learning grant and will be offered at no charge to participants. The main purpose will be to provide students with a wide variety of enrichment clubs, academic support, leadership opportunities and culturally affirming clubs. Students will be able to participate in clubs with focuses on art, science, financial literacy, athletics, cultural appreciation, theater, debate, music and much more. Many clubs will also contain an academic focus that will qualify them as Targeted Services classes and that will allow students to improve vital academic skills while enrolled in the club. Clubs will be run by a combination of licensed teachers, paraprofessionals, outside vendors and student leaders from within ISD 622. We are currently looking to hire high school students who have a passion that they would like to share. Employment begins in September. Call 651-748-7431 for details.

Check out the F.L.I.G.H.T web page to learn more!

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.
