The MS PACE students had the opportunity to visit Tucker & Co Bakery Cafe this week. The students learned about working in a bakery and about food safety rules and procedures. The students also had a chance to take orders and create drinks such as smoothies, lattes, and coffee. A huge thank you to Northern community member and small business owner, Heidi Tucker.

Musicians from Northern High School Band, Orchestra, and Bear Singers performed at the annual Elementary Music Recruitment Assembly on September 10th, 2026. 4th and 5th grade students from across the district heard an excellent selection of music and showcase of each instrument they have the opportunity to play.

Congratulations to the high school directors and students for their successful performance. The elementary students were filled with enthusiasm for music!

If your 4th or 5th grade student is interested in joining band or orchestra, please view this webpage for more information: https://www.northernpolarbears.com/fs/pages/9923.
