Dear North Side Community School Friends,
I hope that you all had the chance to relax and safely spend time with family and friends over the Holiday Season. We are excited to share an update that gifts for our 2021 year-end campaign continue to come in, and we have raised $54,420 to date! These funds will go to support resources and high quality education for our students for the remainder of the school year.
Thanks to our generous supporters, each student received a gift this holiday season. Our students are now back in full swing of the semester and focused on catching up. The pandemic has truly disrupted learning and our students are experiencing tremendous amounts of learning loss. We have completed mid-year assessments in math and literacy to monitor progress made thus far and devise strategies to ensure our students are meeting goals and performing at or above grade level.
In an attempt to get back to pre-covid school traditions, we have begun to organize monthly student competitions to build community and skills for good sportsmanship. In the last few months we have done kickball tournaments and track and field activities.This week our students are looking forward to participating in a school wide spelling bee.
We hope you will join us at our annual gala on Friday, April 29th. The event will feature students, parents, teachers and alum. Speaking of alum, scroll down to view a feature on North Side alum, Jaden Williams!
Sincerely,
John Grote
Executive Director
