STILL LIFE WITH IRIS

“Still Life with Iris" is a fantastical adventure which centers on a little girl's

search for the simplest of things: home. Iris lives with her mom in the land of

Nocturno—a magical place in which the workers make, by night, all of the

things we see in the world by day. When she is taken from her home and

made to live with her "new parents" the Great Goods, Iris joins forces with new

friends Annabel Lee and Mozart (the 11-year-old composer) to find her way

back. Tickets are FREE for ECASD students and staff, and just $7 for the

general public, and will be available at the door. We hope you'll consider

coming out to support the amazing show that these students have put together!

Performances will be held:

Friday, November 15, 7:00 PM

Saturday, November 16, 7:00 PM

Sunday, November 17, 1:30 PM

NORTH HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC TEAM

The Eau Claire Academic Decathlon Team competed in their local

competition on Nov. 12th. The theme for competition this year

was In Sickness and in Health: An Exploration of Illness and

Wellness. Students answered a total of 335 questions on seven

multiple-choice exams in each of the following subject areas: art,

economics, literature, mathematics, music, science, and social

science. While the team is not moving on to Regionals, we are

proud of the time and commitment they spent preparing for local

competition. #huskypride

North High School AP Psych students (above), along with

teacher, Jeffrey Schmidt, served up a kiddie smorgasbord

delight (sloppy joes, spaghetti with marinara, and

homemade mac and cheese) at the Beacon House last week. “ … WE CAN LEND A HAND INSTEAD OF

POINTING A FINGER.”

NORTH STUDENTS VOLUNTEER AT

THE PROMISE OF THE CHIPPEWA

VALLEY – BEACON HOUSE

North High School takes one week each semester to share meals

with families at the Family Promise shelter. North has been doing

this for about 16 years and remains the only organization that is

not a church to participate in this way.

North Math Teacher, Marjorie Craemer, started this when she was

the Key Club advisor. They needed more evenings so North

covered several nights until the idea came up that North could

take one week each semester on a regular basis.

Ms. Craemer says, “People always say that it is so good that we

are teaching kids to give back, but it’s so much more than that. It’s

about sharing time with others as part of a community. It’s about

realizing that even though the choices we make are important, not

everyone has been given the same choices to make. So, we can

lend a hand instead of pointing a finger. And, in this world of

social media, it’s about being in a room with others and making

human connections. In being part of a safety net for others, we

can more clearly see and appreciate the people in our lives who

catch us when we fall and need that safety net.”

FOOD PANTRY GETTING READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS

First, let’s thank Jim and

Linda Jarzynski for

bringing in an entire bag

of mashed potatoes and

pasta sides for the Food

Pantry. With the holiday

break coming up, it’s

critical to have these

types of easy food items

to send home with

students for the week

they are not in school.

Along this same line, I’m excited to announce that the North Food

Pantry is moving to the Husky WearHouse.

We hope this will be a great opportunity for students to help their

fellow classmates. Husky WearHouse volunteers and Student

Council reps, along with 2 to 3 parent volunteers, will be helping

students in both the Food Pantry and WearHouse. #COMMUNITY #HUSKYPRIDE

DECA DONATES

TO THE FOOD

PANTRY -- WOW!

A HUGE thanks to

North’s DECA for

donating a large portion

of their food drive

proceeds to the Food

Pantry. Thank you to the

neighborhood families who donated. Your support is greatly

appreciated!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP OUT WITH THE

NORTH FOOD PANTRY? Contact Janelle Patenaude at 715-852-6607 or

Thank you to everyone who reached out expressing interest in

brining food and/or working in the Food Pantry and Husky

WearHouse during school hours!

It truly makes the world of difference to the success of these

programs, and to the success of our students. Again, your

generosity continues to amaze me!
