Look at these cute pumpkins by the Northside Life Skills class!










5th graders at Northside enjoyed trick or treating in their math classrooms on Halloween! They solved problems involving order of operations, then got to draw a "trick" or "treat" card. A treat card earned them a prize, while a trick card made them reach into some spooky bags of zombie teeth, brains, and more!





Save the date! The ECISD Meadow Lane Holiday Bazaar is coming up on Wednesday, November 15th, and Thursday, November 16th. The bazaar will be held at Christ Lutheran Church, 1401 Ave I. Shop Wednesday, 9-5, and Thursday 9-12.

Mrs. Citzler’s 4th Grade science classes experimented with friction. They used a ramp covered on various surfaces and measured the distance the car rolled. We even had a special football player visitor stop in to help out!



🎉🎃Who's ready for trick-or-treating? Northside is!


🎃👻 Halloween is just around the corner, and we want to make sure everyone has a safe and spooktacular evening! 🌙✨ Here are some important safety tips to keep in mind:
1. Plan your route: Before heading out for trick-or-treating, map out a safe and well-lit route in familiar neighborhoods. Stick to areas with sidewalks and crosswalks to ensure everyone stays safe.
2. Be visible: Wear bright or reflective clothing, add reflective tape to costumes, or carry glow sticks or flashlights. This will help drivers and others see you in the dark.
3. Stay in groups: Trick-or-treat with friends or family members and never go alone. There's safety in numbers, and it's more fun to share the Halloween excitement together!
4. Look both ways: Always remember to look both ways before crossing the street, even if you're in a designated crosswalk. Drivers may not always see you, so stay alert and cautious.
5. Check treats: When you get home, make sure to inspect all treats before eating them. Discard any unwrapped or suspicious-looking items. Safety first!
6. Be cautious with costumes: Choose costumes that are flame-resistant and avoid masks that obstruct vision. Opt for face paint or makeup instead. Comfortable shoes are a must for a night of walking!
7. Respect boundaries: Only visit houses with porch lights on and respect any "no trick-or-treating" signs. Remember, not everyone celebrates Halloween, and it's important to be considerate.
8. Trust your instincts: If something feels off or unsafe, trust your gut and remove yourself from the situation. Your safety is the top priority.
🌟 Let's make this Halloween a memorable and safe one for everyone! Share these tips with your friends and family to ensure a night filled with treats, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Happy Halloween! 🎃👻
