Last week was Earth Week.  Students and staff participated in Earth friendly activities throughout the week.   The activity schedule:
           Monday:  Walk, bus or bike to school (7th graders going to an organic farm) 
         Tuesday-  Wear Green and 100% recycling
          Wednesday- Plant a seed at school (materials provided)
          Thursday- Lights out!  Cut your carbon footprint today.
          Friday- Litterless lunch.  Bring non-disposable lunchware 








Photos show 7th graders learning at an organic farm and also sharing their learning with 4th grade buddies.  What a great way for students to demonstrate their learning!

We are so proud of our students and their accomplishments!  Recently, students have been honored for their participation in various activities including Chess and History Fair.  

Chess
Ryan W. and his dad Ben, our Chess Team Coach, attended a Chicago Board of Education meeting.  Ryan was able to speak to the board as a representative of the Skinner North Chess Team.  He was invited based on the team's 1st place finish in the CPS (K-6) Elementary Chess Championship.  Skinner North is proud to have you as a representative!

Parent-Teacher Conferences are tomorrow and a non-attendance day for students.  Please reach out to your students teacher if you have yet to sign up for  a time slot.
