School newspaper first edition: Our School News Club has put together an amazing newspaper to highlight issues related to Normal Park Upper School and the community. Please take the time to read it here.

The Upper School will begin collecting new and used clothes, shoes, school supplies, as well as hygienic products that we can distribute to students in need of such things. Students will be able to pick items that interest them/are needed. If this is something you wish for your student to participate in, please complete and return the form sent home before break or email hb_colby@hcde.org. *If you are interested in donating to the NP Closet, please be on the lookout for more information as we learn about the greatest needs/sizes.

SPARK provides a dance teacher!

Thanks to parent and community donations during Fork and Gavel, we have hired a dance teacher for the lower school!!

Please welcome Jordan Burse. We are thrilled to have her as she is passionate about dance and teaching!

Each student will now have five related arts classes (art, PE, library, dance, and music). You can anticipate the schedules changing for days that students attend each class. Homeroom teachers will communicate that to students when they return. Thank you so much for your support and patience as we have worked to prioritize this program for our students.
