Black Student Union Club: Mr. Kempton Freeman, North’s own cultural liaison for African American students, would like to start a Black Student Union Club at North High School.

Please see Mr. Freeman or Mr. Lee.

Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive – Beginning February 21, going through March 11, there will be a competition between the freshman teams to see who can bring in the most hygiene products- Freshman bring items to your CIVIC teachers. You can bring new items such as shampoo, toothbrushes, deodorant, and soap. Not a freshman? Don’t worry! Upperclassman can donate to their Alma mater teams. Drop off donations in your Civic teacher’s room or in the LMC.

Dear Students, Staff and Parents: Did you know that the production of consumer electronics directly and negatively impacts the environment? More than 80% of all the electronics we use are reusable but how many of us actually properly recycle all our used electronic devices and unwanted or broken jewelry. Well now is your chance to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!! North’s Garden Club is conducting a recycling fundraiser. We are simply asking you to protect the environment by donating your used consumer electronics and unwanted, broken or mismatched jewelry. This event will take place during all lunch hours during the week of March 1-11 and also during Parent Teacher Conferences March 3 and March 7th. Items we are looking for are working/not working/outdated cell phones, digital cameras, laptop computers, ipads/ipods, tablets, inkjet cartridges, gold, silver & platinum jewelry, mp3 players, gps devices, radar detectors and all assorted book readers. Boxes will be located in the School Counseling Office. Thank you in advance for your generosity. We hope to collect many items!!

Attention Appleton North Staff and Students– Key Club and Peer helpers need your help. Premature births are a rising concern in our world today and is the number one cause of infant death. We are asking for the entire school to participate in raising money to help prevent premature deaths in our community. To do this, we will be collecting donations around school for March of Dimes ordering t-shirts in the LMC. The t-shirt order forms will be due back to the LMC with money before Spring Break. You can also sign up to walk with Appleton North United on April 23! Contact Mrs. Pynenberg, Mrs. Bruce or stop in the LMC for more details
