2024 Summer Reading

On Friday, May 3rd, Northside's staff and students applauded Seneca High School's Senior Class of 2024 as they walked the halls of their former elementary school.

On Arbor Day, in honor of the 2024 5th grade class, Ms. Land planted a tree with Mrs. Baker’s class.

Volunteer Recognition Day, observed annually on April 20th, honors the invaluable contributions of individuals who generously dedicate their time and efforts to enriching the lives of others. These unsung heroes selflessly extend a helping hand, tirelessly working to cultivate positive change in our communities. From lending support in classrooms to supervising field trips, and from participating in events like Real Men Read and Field Day, the volunteers at Northside embody the spirit of compassion and service. Their dedication is the cornerstone of our shared commitment to building a brighter, more inclusive world.

🌘 Get ready to witness the show of the season! 🌌 On Monday, prepare to be dazzled as the Upstate of SC experiences a mesmerizing Partial Solar Eclipse, peaking from 2:55 to 3:05 pm with 80-85% totality! 🌞🔭 All students will have the chance to safely witness this cosmic spectacle, equipped with district-provided eclipse viewing glasses. Safety first: remember to put on your glasses if you're catching a glimpse of this awe-inspiring event during dismissal or on the bus ride home. 🚌✨ We've prepped our students on the importance of safe viewing, but for those opting out, simply refrain from looking. 🚫⚠️ Let's keep the excitement high and the disruptions low! If you plan to pick up your student early for a front-row seat to this celestial extravaganza, please ensure you retrieve them before 2:15pm. Let's make Monday's eclipse an unforgettable experience for all! 🌠 🌒
