Learning Our Nation's Values:                                      
North Cross School strives to incorporate the values our founding fathers instilled in our country through the Constitution. This photo shows the Preamble of our nation’s Constitution, and demonstrates what the NCS students are taught in advisory. On Sept. 19 in advisory, students in the Upper School learned what it means to be a perfect union; having  justice, tranquility, a common defense, welfare, liberty and posterity. Each advisory class read over the preamble of the Constitution together and then played a constitution themed Kahoot. “We the people [in order to form a more perfect union . . . ]of the United States,”  science teacher Mrs. Dickinson’s ninth grade advisory class sang harmoniously, reciting the Preamble of the Constitution. One of the main reasons NCS implements advisory once a week is to teach students about how we can improve our school by honoring school values including integrity, courage and honor. By carrying out our nation's values in school, we can ensure that all students feel equal, trust each other, and experience happiness and fulfillment at NCS.

HappY Times In Hobbiton

Exploring Hobbiton: These photos highlight some of my favorite parts of the Hobbiton set that my family visited in the past year while we were in New Zealand. My sister, Devon, and my brother, Braden, are featured in these photos as well. We are very close and enjoy going on adventures together. Our trip to New Zealand was our biggest adventure yet.  “Aaaahhh,” we all screamed as we placed our hands on the hot coals on the stove in Hobbiton’s mini welding shop. JK Don’t worry it’s just a prop! Those coals aren’t real, but they make for a fun picture.  My favorite photo is the one of my brother in the bathtub made for hobbits. He’s the only one in our family who could fit in the tub, as he is the only one who is at “Hobbit Height.” The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies are some of my family's favorites. We enjoyed visiting the set where some of the most iconic scenes from these movies took place. However, we had to remind each other, “Watch your head,” as we entered the tiny hobbit homes. Our family is a bit too tall for those tiny hobbit-sized doorways. “Ouch,” my mom said as she hit her head in the doorway, again!
