The Olympia North Student Council prepared for the Veterans Day celebration by meeting with Hiriam Brownell and learning about his experiences in the Navy. Mr. Brownell served in the U.S. Navy from 1964-1969. He volunteered for sub duty and was on a nuclear SSBN and also a WWII sub. He was home ported out of Charleston and patrolled in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean. Mr. Brownell also helped the student council members learn the correct way to fold a flag. They used this knowledge to perform a flag folding ceremony at our school Veterans Day assembly.
Student Council would like to thank Mr. Brownell for taking the time to teach us these valuable lessons.
Student Council helped out at the Danvers/Carlock Food Bank today by packing food for Thanksgiving meals. #olyspartanpride

New to Oly North is our Student Cafeteria Advisory Group or "The Chew Crew". These students will meet with Cafeteria Staff to help with menu planning, testing new foods and to provide information on what the kids like and dislike. A great recipe for success!
Socktober will continue the rest of this week. We are nearing our goal, but we need everyone’s help to reach our 1,000 pairs of socks by the end of Friday! Right now we have a little over 600 pairs of socks. We can do it Spartans!

In Digital Literacy today, 2nd graders learned how to use the camera app. They also learned it is respectful to ask a person if they may take their picture.
It’s Fun Sock Friday at ONE! As part of our Socktober celebration, 2nd graders in Mrs. Loyer’s class wore their favorite fun socks and did math without shoes! ONE is trying to collect 1,000 pairs of socks before Halloween and we’re almost halfway there!
Second through fifth grade students used collaboration and their growth mindsets during Physical Education class to complete Hula Hut Challenges.
Encouraging students to take their fruits and vegetables can be a challenge on the elementary level. It is our goal in all the elementary cafeterias that the students will try new foods and learn to love them. Some fun in lunch can go a long way to help promote the fruits and vegetables we have available for the students to choose from. At North our Watermelon Man did just that.
