What is Norway Day you might ask? Norway Day is a Norwegian festival filled with Norwegian music, arts and crafts, an abundance of Norwegian history, genealogy, and delectable foods with the aroma and tastes of days gone by, but certainly not forgotten. Norway Day is also the coming together of Norwegians and all Scandinavians from around the country to celebrate a unique way of life and a heritage abundantly rich in culture Our very own Norwegian Lion, Mrs. Gleave, treated her students to a bit of her own cultural background today! Students tasted different treats and learned about different things from Norway! 🇳🇴 🦁

Today marked the final Making the Grade session of the school year. Throughout the program, students had the opportunity to meet with community mentors to discuss grades, attendance, goals, and plans for the future.

We are grateful to the students who participated and stayed committed to their growth throughout the year. We also want to sincerely thank our community mentors for investing their time, encouragement, and support into our students. Your willingness to connect, listen, and share your experiences has made a meaningful impact on the Northside.

Mrs. Hubbard and her senior students recently visited The Springfield Project Community Development & Coworking Space, also known as CAP 1908, for the fourth time this school year. During previous visits, students explored projects connected to entrepreneurship and innovation.

This visit focused on discovering more about Springfield’s history and culture through the city’s murals and public art. Students toured several murals throughout Springfield, discussed what they learned and observed, and returned to CAP 1908 for reflection and lunch together.

It was a great opportunity for students to learn more about the history, creativity, and stories found right here in their own hometown.

We would like to thank Mr. Jordan for his amazing photography skills that helped capture pictures of our students with the different murals around Springfield!

Lanphier students had an amazing experience yesterday with a very special guest, Lanphier alum Julio Barranzuela, Class of 1995. In timely fashion with Cinco de Mayo, our Spanish students learned salsa from Julio, now the owner of Salsa 29. He teaches salsa dancing across the United States and shared how dance can promote health, education, and cultural connection while bringing energy and fun to the classroom. We are always proud to welcome alumni back into our building and grateful to Julio for sharing his time, talent, and passion with our students. Once a Lion, always a Lion! 🦁
