Thank you to EVERYONE who came to the 2024 Homecoming Parade and Football game. It was a terrific time not only for the Penn students, but also for the entire community.

The Parade, Expo, Fun Zone, Food Trucks and Fireworks were all bigger and better than ever.

After the game was over, the fans in attendance were treated to a fireworks show set to music!

There are three photo galleries below, one of the parade floats and participants, one of the parade spectators and one of the fun zone and expo. Take a look and we’ll see you in 2025!

On Friday, September 20th, Kindergarten students took a field trip to “Amazing Acres,” a local pumpkin patch, where they spent the morning doing fall-themed activities. The students enjoyed a tractor “hayride” to a pumpkin patch where they each got to pick their very own pumpkin!

The morning wrapped up with free time where students could jump on a “jumping pillow” and a wide variety of games that are on site. Special thanks to all of our parent volunteers who made this trip possible.

We are thrilled to announce that Nichol Mondy, a dedicated 3rd-grade teacher at Northpoint, has been honored by the Indiana Department of Education by making their TOP 25 list for Teacher of the Year! This prestigious recognition is a testament to Mrs. Mondy’s exceptional teaching skills, dedication to her students, and her commitment to educational excellence. 

Mrs. Mondy has had a remarkably busy summer, balancing her time between teaching summer camps, volunteering for children’s camps at her church, and participating in teacher professional development courses.

Her passion for education and continuous improvement truly sets her apart, which is why she was named P-H-M’s 2024 Elementary Teacher of the Year in May. 

Her innovative teaching methods, compassion, and enthusiasm create a nurturing and stimulating learning environment that leaves a lasting impact on her students. Congratulations, Mrs. Mondy, on this well-deserved recognition!

The “Running is Elementary” program wrapped up its 2024 season with the main race at Elm Road Elementary School yesterday. The event saw enthusiastic participation from 4th and 5th grade students, both boys and girls, who competed in a 1-mile course that tested their endurance and speed.

The annual program, aimed at promoting fitness and healthy lifestyles among elementary school students, brought together participants from various schools in the area. 

Parents and teachers cheered from the sidelines as students dashed toward the finish line, each striving to put forth their best effort. The event not only highlighted the physical capabilities of the students but also emphasized the importance of physical education in the school curriculum.

The “Running is Elementary” program has been a key event in the community’s calendar for the last 15 years, fostering a sense of unity and encouraging children to adopt active lifestyles. Special thanks to the P-H-M Education Foundation for making it possible!

In the halls of Northpoint Elementary School, a challenge was set: read 1 million minutes in the month of February. Students dove into books of all kinds, from fantasy to history.

As February drew to a close, the final count exceeded expectations, reaching an incredible 1,328,158 minutes!

To celebrate, the school hosted a Glow Party on March 28th, featuring a DJ, black lights, and neon glow sticks.

Amidst laughter and dancing, the students reveled in their accomplishment, knowing that with a passion for reading, anything is possible.

And so, Northpoint Elementary shone brightly, proving that when it comes to reaching goals, the power of a good book can light the way to success.

We are thrilled to announce that the P-H-M Education Foundation is providing funding for the 15th annual Running is Elementary program!

SAVE THE DATE!  The date is May 6 (Rain Date May 8).

All P-H-M 4th & 5th grade students are invited to participate.  Students will practice at their home schools with the culminating run at Elm Road Elementary School.
