Happy Birthday Ms. Michelle!!!
Thank you to the Waverly Soifer Family McDonald's for allowing us to host the North Ridge Elementary McTeacher's Night this evening. We had a great time and appreciate everyone who attended! Thank you to parent group team member Kayla Moore for organizing the event! Thank you to the staff at McDonald's, and all of the North Ridge Elementary staff for helping to lead the event!
We are excited today to host the 1st day of Kindergarten Round-up to welcome our 2026-2027 Kindergarten students. We are excited for a great day! We look forward to meeting everyone!!!
Thank you to student leader Lily (and Ms. Caswell) for stepping up as a student leader for our Read-A-Thon. Each day Lily worked hard to update each grade level on the number of minutes read, as well as keeping track of our number of minutes read as a school. In lunch each day, our staff shared the updated slide show sharing this information with our students.

North Ridge Read-A-Thon update. Keep up the great work Go-Hawks!!!
Third grade enjoyed exploring one of the Waverly Health Center's ambulances. The EMTs and paramedics taught us all about their careers.
Have an awesome Friday Go-Hawks!!! These turkey friends welcomed us today at North Ridge. They were just north of Mrs. Troyer's 1st grade classroom. Gobble Gobble.
Mrs. O'Neill from the Middle School introduced North Ridge students to the orchestra instruments. Each 4th grader got to try out a violin or viola. Even Mr. Parker got to try! We are all excited for the new opportunities in Middle School!
Ms. Thorn's class is enjoying their first day of our school Read-A-Thon with PJs, lots of snacks, comfy spots, and lots of books 📚 Even Mrs. Baskett came to read with us 😊
Mrs. Willms' Kindergarten Class has been learning about the weather and seasons in science. One of our lessons focused on bird nests and why birds make their nests in the springtime. Then students got to gather their own items to make a nest for their bird and eggs. 🪺
4th graders have been learning about the regions of the United States in an "Amazing Race", and today was the finale! Students put all they learned together for some culminating challenges, AND got to try some delicacies from each region!
Thank you to everyone for your support of our school and the pizza fundraiser!
Cup stacking has been a hit in gym class! Students have been working on their hand eye coordination and reaction time through their work with Speed Stacks. Some of our kindergarten students have been working on their own as well!

Congratulations to our awesome Student of the Month Go-Hawk Leaders for the month of January! Way to step up and represent Habit 4: Think Win-Win! Way to go, Go-Hawks!!!
Third graders got in some fraction practice before the Super Bowl with a football themed trail mix recipe. Not only did they have to determine what fraction of a cup of each food item to add, but then they had to split their mix equally between their groups. Way to go, team!
We have some outstanding volunteers at North Ridge. Today, we want to highlight and thank Mr. Palmquist. In addition to being an AIM mentor, Mr. Palmquist was here today talking with Ms. Bagnall's 4th grade class about NASA. The class had read an article in Phonics about the DART program with NASA. Mr. Palmquist is a retired teacher and comes once a month to share about topics the class is learning about. The class was excited about the topic!
