The Grinch has officially returned to Northside Elementary! 💚🎄
Every year he pops in to monitor behavior (in his own… Grinchy way) and sprinkle a little holiday mischief around our school. Our students look forward to his silly shenanigans just as much as we do!
I’ve been so busy keeping up with his antics that I haven’t posted his adventures each day — so consider this your Grinch Catch-Up Post! 😂💚
Check out the photos below to see where he’s been hiding, helping, and causing harmless trouble around Northside. And, ask your children about The Grinch. The students ask about him EVERY DAY!
Our favorite green guest is definitely keeping the season bright… and just a little chaotic. 😉

The latest Technology Badge goes to Brittney Dotson for creating an unforgettable Veterans' Day experience. She used Zoom to connect her class with a former Northside student who is currently stationed in Germany, giving students a meaningful, real-world look at service and sacrifice. We are so grateful for her creativity and the heart she brings to her classroom. ❤️🇺🇸
