As another incredible school year comes to a close,
we just want to say thank you, North!
This year was filled with so much more than meetings and fundraisers. Together, we created memories, traditions, celebrations, opportunities, and moments our students will carry with them for years to come.
Because of this community, NPTO was able to help support:
✨ Family events
✨ Literacy nights & assemblies
✨ Staff appreciation
✨ Field trips & classroom experiences
✨ Student celebrations
✨ Husky Quest
✨ Volunteer programs
✨ School traditions
…and so much more.
This year alone, our volunteers gave more than 3,700 hours of their time, and our North community helped raise tens of thousands of dollars that went directly back into our school, students, and staff. That is something truly special.
But more than the numbers, we are proud of the feeling we are building at North. A school community that feels welcoming, connected, creative, supportive, and fun.
Whether you volunteered all year, attended one event, donated, shared an idea, followed our posts, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines… thank you. You are part of what makes North such a wonderful place for kids and families.
We are already excited for what’s ahead next year and cannot wait to keep growing this amazing community together.
Have a wonderful summer, Huskies.
