SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 LET’S GET POWERED UP DAKTRONICS TEAM GETS THE SHOW GOING

The Entertainment Technology class at North, taught by Jan Bowe, is

gearing up for another crowd-pleasing year in the Doghouse. The

students have been busy learning how to manage and operate the

Daktronics Video Scoreboards in the Doghouse as part of their

curriculum.

Part of the learning is led by previous Daktronics students, who are now

teaching the system to new students. Tyler Bruns, North Junior who is in

his third year of working with the Daktronics system, helps teach new

students how to operate the Daktronics system. North graduate, Abdel

Gruetzmacher, who has worked with the Daktronics system since the

beginning, helps teach students how to troubleshoot, run the

livestreaming, etc.

The Daktronics Video Scoreboards are made possible by several

generous community businesses: Charter Bank, Coca-Cola, Kristo

Orthodontics, Markquart, Oakleaf Surgical Hospital/Chippewa Valley

Orthopedics, Mega Holiday, Bauer Built, Edward Jones, RBC Wealth

Management, Jimmy Johns, Safety & Respect Driving School, and

Student Transit.

2019 YEARBOOKS COMING SOON

We are still awaiting delivery of the 2019 yearbooks. We had

planned for a fall-delivery of the yearbooks, but we had a

very small yearbook staff last year and several of the pages

needed to be completed and/or edited extensively during

the summer. That said, we do anticipate delivery very soon.

Apologies on the delay.

When the books arrive, we plan to distribute them in the

NHS Commons during all lunch shifts for several days. There

will be notification via the daily announcements and on the

North website. If your son or daughter graduated in the

spring, a sibling or family friend will be allowed pick up a

yearbook with written permission (email is fine) to do so. Or,

if you let us know ahead of time, we can have the yearbook

at the reception desk in the main office. Please contact

Cheryl Boone with additional questions at. Thank you for

your patience and understanding!

STUDENT COUNCIL FALL BLOOD DRIVE STUDENTS STEP UP TO GIVE

After seeing numbers steadily decrease over recent years,

North High School Student Council got creative when getting

students signed up to give blood at the Annual Fall Blood

Drive. Eight student Council reps worked on the Blood Drive

Committee, 22 reps worked the registration booths and 6 reps

recruited donors during study halls. Their hard worked paid

off! Sixty-four students registered to give blood and 33

students registered as alternatives.

Another new idea to get students interested this year was offering Dairy

Queen dilly bars to donors when they finished giving blood. Student

Council reps secured 75 dilly bars per hour from Dairy Queen to offer

everyone who gave blood.

All in all, 48 units of blood was donated, each impacting as many as

three lives. The American Red Cross goal for the NHS Fall Drive was 34.

Great job!

Congratulations to Student Council on the success of their Blood Drive.

Great job Husky Community!!

Kevin Mesiar, Student Council Advisor, said

this was the most successful blood drive at

North in more than 10 years.

HUSKY WEARHOUSE GET INTO THE SCHOOL SPIRIT

What a great start to the school year! The Husky WearHouse is busier than ever –

making sure all students have Husky clothing to wear!

This year we are lucky to have a wonderful group of students working in the

WearHouse. Check back each week to learn a little bit about each student.

WHAT IS THE HUSKY WEARHOUSE? The Husky WearHouse provides all students the opportunity to wear North High

School apparel because when students feel included and connected to school, they

are more likely to participate in the school community and achieve success.

The HUSKY

WEARHOUSE is

located by the auditorium directly

inside the main entrance of the

school.

GRIFFIN BELL, North Senior, is our

team leader. This is his second year

of volunteering in the WearHouse.

Griffin is also a member of student

council, the North Hockey team and

Track. Make sure to cheer on #14 on

the ice this season!

SENIOR PORTRAIT SUBMISSION

The North High School Yearbook staff would like to remind

parents and students of the Class of 2020 that senior pictures

should be taken during the summer months. Since senior

portraits are traditionally printed in color, the deadline for

submission to be included in the yearbook will be Friday,

January 3 -- FIRM. Don’t be disappointed; schedule an

appointment with the photographer of your choice soon.

Only digital photos are accepted for use in the yearbook. We

also suggest that a more traditional pose (head and

shoulders) works best in the yearbook. If you request it, most

photographers in the area will submit a camera-ready, digital

photograph to the school directly as a service to you. Please

request they send the (minimum) wallet-sized file as a jpeg

with a minimum of 300 dpi resolution to cboone@ecasd.us.

All you need to do is select your pose and place the order.

SENIORS – MAKE APPOINTMENTS

Seniors, please make an appointment first quarter to see your

counselor for your senior meeting. Counselors will meet with

every senior to discuss credits, graduation requirements, as

well as post-secondary planning. Stop by Student Services

and set up an appointment with your counselor through Ms.

Forrestal beginning Monday, September 16th.
