HUSKY HELPING HANDS FUND
                  This fund is established to provide emergency
                  support for North High School students when
                  extenuating circumstances arise that may
inhibit their learning. Emergency needs may include but are
not limited to: Lunch passes, clothing & toiletries,
transportation, etc. The goal is to see this fund endowed before
the start of the 2021-22 school year this fall. That’s only $9500.

                               During the summer we were super lucky to receive a visit from
                               Anita Harvey ’72, and Vader, Anita’s black lab service dog. Anita
                               received a tour of North High School, and we received a history
                               lesson about what has changed throughout the last (almost) 50
                               years.

Anita Harvey has made several monetary donations to North High School over the past few
years. She most recently sent a selection of gift cards to Kohl’s and Target to share with students.
We greatly appreciate her generosity and support!

Once a Husky, always a Husky!

THANK YOU FOR THE DONATIONS
                         Thank you to the anonymous donor who dropped off facial tissues for our
                         North staff. Your generosity is truly appreciated! We also want to thank
                         Festival Foods for donating a large supply of facial tissues to ECASD.

                         Thank you, also, to Brady and Jeanne Foust for donating 10 TI-84 Plus CE
                         Color Graphic calculators to the North Math Department. This is the second
                         calculator donation from this family.

                               FESTIVAL FOODS DONATION
                                                      Thank you to Festival Foods for donating facial tissues to ECASD. On the right
                                                      is Tyler Bruns, ’21 North graduate and manager at Festival Foods, along with
                                                      Jeff Nestor, Interim Director and Facilities Planning Manager. The tissues
                                                      have been distributed to all ECASD school buildings. Thanks again, Festival
                                                      Foods!

                               THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD PANTRY DONATION
                               Thank you to North Parent, Briana Hutman, for donating a large selection
                               of protein/granola bars, cereal, cake mixes and bread mixes to the
                               North Food Pantry.

                             The North Food Pantry is currently located in the Husky WearHouse.
                             This year we are going to focus on sending meal-type items homes with
students for the weekends. We’d also like to start offering students gift cards to local eating
establishments for weekend meals.

If you would like to donate gift cards and/or money, please email jpatenaude@ecasd.us. Look for more
information about this, as well as about our team of student volunteers this year. I’m always amazed at
how many returning and new students are interested in helping our Husky Community!

            WearHouse
                                                       The Husky WearHouse received several donations over the summer! Thank
you to everyone who supports this program! We’ve already had several students interested in shopping in the WearHouse this
year and it’s wonderful to have so many items to offer them!

WHAT IS THE HUSKY WEARHOUSE?
The Husky WearHouse provides all students the opportunity to wear North High School apparel because when students feel
included and connected to school, they are more likely to participate in the school community and achieve success.

WHERE IS THE HUSKY WEARHOUSE?
The Husky WearHouse is located up the first set of steps leading to the auditorium at the
front of North High School. It is open at least one hour every day.
It is open during the day for students to shop. Students receive a “Husky WearHouse
Ticket” from a teacher and/or counselor to choose a North apparel item from the
WearHouse.

                                              “Everyone benefits from a
                                              strong school community.”

                                                                                                                                  9
