Yesterday we celebrated the last day of school. Last week our students cheered on the seniors who graduated this past weekend!

The "best principal ever" received a driveway full of mini masterpieces made by the Kindergarteners. As he steps into retirement, the Kindergarteners (and the rest of North Park) hope that Mr. Hausmann's next phase of life will be a masterpiece, painted with colors of joy, peace, and fulfillment. Congrats to Mr. Hausmann. You will be greatly missed by all of your North Park family!

Lego day! Students had to complete 10 challenges with their Legos as a team. They made some pretty awesome things!
