Welcome to Kidsville - Population Mrs. Julia Duncan's class!
Students in Mrs. Duncan's first grade class at Northside have been busy working on their Community Day projects for STEM. Students researched different jobs that they could do in the community and worked on engineering a box into a building that goes along with their job.

They have been reading with finger flashlights under their "tents" as they complete their camp-related reading and math activities. Why, there's even s'more snack mix to add to the adventure!

If so, join us at BJSHS on Monday May 16th from 2:30-5:30 for the Open Door clinic.
A parent must be present for all immunizations to be administered as well as a consent for treatment being signed. If your student is 18 years old they do not need a parent present.
Student and athletic physicals will be offered during this clinic also for $25.00 that must be paid at the time of the clinic.
Please enter through the Sutton Center entrance, door 17 and you will be directed from there.
Any questions please call Amy Sargent corporation nurse at 765-348-7560. You may also pick up a consent form from your school's health office prior to the clinic.
