PARADE ROUTE (UPDATED-

PEP ASSEMBLY

North’s Homecoming Pep

Assembly is today at 2:15

p.m. Also, on October 1st,

before the football game at

Carson Park, we will have our

Homecoming Parade. The

parade will begin at 5 p.m.

(not 4 p.m.) at the intersection

of Broadway Street and 7th

Avenue, proceeding along

Lake Street and Carson Park Drive, ending at Carson Park.

HOMECOMING DANCE DETAILS

Tomorrow, October 2nd, we will be hosting our Homecoming Dance. This dance will

be outside in the back parking lot of North High School. The dance will be held from

6 to 9 p.m. Students can be dropped off at the back parking lot, but parking for

students will be at the front lot, and students will need to walk to the back lot. For this

dance, masks will be recommended but are not required. Because the weather in

Wisconsin can be unpredictable, we will have the dance inside in the East Gym if it

is raining or snowing. If the dance is held inside, masks will be required. Dance

“Odyssey of the Mind” – Looking for the Creative, the Dramatic, the Mechanic and Artistic!

This year the ECASD will once again provide students the opportunity to participate in programming to help develop their

creative, dramatic, mechanic, and artistic talents. Students in all grade levels have the option to participate in an after-school

program called Odyssey of the Mind.

Odyssey of the Mind is the original creative problem-solving program and one of the largest and most successful worldwide! It

was founded 37 years ago and has been active in Wisconsin for over 30 years. Odyssey of the Mind in the Eau Claire Area School

District relies heavily on parent volunteers to provide coaching for elementary teams. If you are interested in forming and/or

coaching a team at your elementary school, contact me for more information.

All teams will attend the state competition in Madison on Saturday, March 19, 2022. Transportation is provided and the celebration

is awesome!

A Family Interest meeting will be held on Thursday, October 7th from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at the District Office. Michelle Kooiker and
