Panther Parent/Guardians,
A short week, students have school Monday & Tuesday and then we have a break to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends.  
 
I want to thank the North Salem School Community for purchasing and dropping off MB Gift Cards.  Gift cards will be distributed on Monday so families to help families make their Thanksgiving Dinner special.
 
Enjoy the short week!
Mr. Whittaker
 
Spirit Day Tuesday

  • PJ Day - cozy way to end the short week.
  • Reminder the full year of spirit days can be found HERE 

North Salem’s Festival of Trees – December 13
 
Our most magical family event of the year - A visit from Santa Claus and his sleigh!  Raffles galore, Kids Kastle Shopping Experience, food, arts & crafts, and the highlight is the magic of our classroom trees and specialty trees, all lit up to put you in the holiday spirit.  
 
  • Funds raised are put towards our annual student assistance fund for the 26-27 school year.  Above and beyond on that, funds are put towards our school improvement fund.   
 As with all events sponsored by our PTA, if you need assistance with tickets or any aspect of the event that cost money please reach out to Mr. Whittaker for assistance – all information is kept confidential.
