Family Newsletter 10/5
Dear North Eugene Families,
October is here, and with it comes one of our favorite traditions—Homecoming! Next week is Spirit Week, and students can look forward to celebrating their Highlander pride in many ways. On Thursday, October 9, we’ll gather during Advisory for the Homecoming Assembly, followed by the Homecoming Football Game on Friday, October 10 under the lights. The week caps off with the Homecoming Dance on Saturday, October 11 from 8:00–10:30 p.m. with the theme Rio—a vibrant, colorful celebration that promises to be unforgettable.
We’re excited to see our students showing spirit, cheering on their peers, and making lasting memories together. October is always a busy and exciting month at North, and we’re looking forward to sharing it with all of you.
Go NORTH!

As we head into the colder months, our classrooms and students could use a little extra support. If you’re able, we’d love donations of Kleenex, hand sanitizer, Expo markers, pencils, lined paper, composition books, and any other basic school supplies. Every little bit helps keep our students learning and our classrooms stocked!
