Throwback Thursday!
Today’s memory comes from the 1995 Northern Lites yearbook. The theme was “A Spirited Year” and from the looks of it, that’s exactly what it was!

Happy School Custodian Appreciation Day!
Today we give a huge THANK YOU to the hardworking custodians who keep our spaces clean, safe, and running smoothly—often behind the scenes and without enough recognition.
Your dedication, attention to detail, and pride in your work make a difference every single day. Whether it's staying late, arriving early, or going the extra mile, we see you and appreciate you!
Let’s all take a moment to say THANK YOU to the amazing custodial staff, Brian, Jeff, Scott, Albertina, Marlene, and David!

Our fifth graders turned into a rotating Earth today! We put maps on ourselves and spun around to see how our planet's rotation creates the cycle of day and night. The best part? Watching how different parts of the world experience sunrise and sunset. They had a blast!

The sound of Civil War cannons and the smell of the blacksmith's fire will return to Hardin Northern next week. The History Brigade will host their annual Living History Day for the elementary classes next Tuesday afternoon. Several student presenters will join local living historians as they entertain the elementary students with tales of the Civil War, the French Revolution, and much, much more.
