Kindergarten students at North created a rocket launcher and tested their launching skills. They were able to adjust the angle. Students also had fun creating different objects using mag builders from the STEM lab. These items were purchased through the Maitland grant.

The Olympia North Student Council prepared for the Veterans Day celebration by meeting with Hiriam Brownell and learning about his experiences in the Navy. Mr. Brownell served in the U.S. Navy from 1964-1969. He volunteered for sub duty and was on a nuclear SSBN and also a WWII sub. He was home ported out of Charleston and patrolled in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean. Mr. Brownell also helped the student council members learn the correct way to fold a flag. They used this knowledge to perform a flag folding ceremony at our school Veterans Day assembly. Student Council would like to thank Mr. Brownell for taking the time to teach us these valuable lessons.

Student Council helped out at the Danvers/Carlock Food Bank today by packing food for Thanksgiving meals. #olyspartanpride

Thank you to all of the Veterans that attended the Olympia North Veterans Day Ceremony. We thank you for your service!
