It was another busy day for Nokomis FFA! With Red Ribbon Week and Anti-Bullying Week coming up, the FFA officers and other members put together an anti drug presentation for 6th graders and an anti bullying workshop for students in the After School Program. The younger students enjoyed participating in the healthy and positive activities. 🔵🟡

Mark Your Calendars North Elementary School - Next week we are celebrating Red Ribbon Week! Together, we take a stand against drugs! #NOKOPROUD

Today, Mrs. DeWerff took juniors and seniors interested in becoming teachers to Millikin University for the Tomorrow’s Teachers Conference! Students enjoyed hands-on, behind-the-scenes experiences and learned more about the field of education.

This past week Mrs. Cruthis and Mrs. West and their 1st grade students worked hard to create a shelter to send as a part of the Fifth Street Renaissance fundraiser, Camp Out 4 Homeless Veterans this past Saturday in Springfield. This event is a way to bring awareness to an organization that helps provide 20 amazing programs designed to keep people housed, safe and back on their feet. Great Job North Elementary for showing your support of our Veterans across the land! #NOKOPROUD
