Northside held a Powerzone Challenge for the month of September. Teachers were encouraged to focus on circulating the room during instruction and using proximity to get instant feedback from students. Teachers, admin, and support staff observed and affirmed each other throughout the month to fill out their bingo board. Pictured above are the three winners of the challenge: Jeanine Stehling, Rosalind Barnes, and Kristina Lee.

Ricebird Homecoming 2025 was outstanding. Thank you to Student Council sponsors Audrey Woods and Caroline Owen, Cheer sponsor Terese Tompkins, and Derby Doll sponsor Jenna Zabodyn for all of their efforts. Students were able to enjoy a great pep rally with an expanded Homecoming court, a tailgate on Friday, and the first Homecoming dance in over 30 years.
