North Glendale Lends a Helping Hand!
May 16, 2012
Our third grade classroom collected a 1,000 dimes as part of a math project early in the year. We decided to give the money to Mike Bales. He used to work for the district as the Director of Security, but suffered a debilitating brain injury following surgery. We collected the 1,000 dimes, but then decided to keep collecting until the end of the year. We ended up with 1500 more dimes or $250 in total. We invited Mike and Teri to come visit our classroom. They came! Teri talked with the children about brain injuries and the third graders had great questions to ask. The class presented Mike with a NG hat, letters, and the money. They even sang Mike a song. In return, Mike had cupcakes, which he had helped make, for the children. It was a positive and uplifting experience for all!

North Glendale Students Video Chat with Author
Meeting a published author was just a click away for 15 students at North Glendale. A combined group of second grade literacy focus students in Mrs. Vicki Johnson’s class were able to spend a half hour conversing via SKYPE with Mrs. Dori Hillstead Butler, author of the Buddy Files books. “These books”, said Mrs. Johnson, “made a huge difference in the reading lives of my students this year. They couldn’t wait to get to class to find out if Buddy solved the mystery.”
