We were so happy to welcome our kindergarten friends today, take a look at photos and a short video below!

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!

Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation is nationally recognized as one of the “Best Communities for Music Education” offering choir, band and orchestra at Schmucker, Discovery and Grissom Middle Schools.

Every P-H-M 5th grader who will be attending a P-H-M middle school as an incoming 6th grader in the Fall 2023 has the opportunity to join an instrumental music class, which includes either band or orchestra. “Instrument Selection Night” is when students and families get to make their choice!

In order to join 6th grade band or orchestra, students must select an instrument that they will learn throughout their time in their chosen class. Our Instrument Selection Nights are designed with the intention of helping your child make this decision.

At “Instrument Selection Night,” a music professional will be available to give students advice about which instrument may be best suited for them. They will be allowed to “try out” instruments from various instrument groups. Click here to visit the expansive website with more details on on Instrument Selection Night.

You will sign up for an appointment at one of our Instrument Selection Nights. Try to sign up at the middle school where your child will attend. If those dates do not work, you may sign up for one of the other nights. Click here to sign up.

Who wants to see a robot? Our 3rd graders do!

“The Fire Wires”, a robotics team comprised of area high schoolers and former Northpoint graduates recently stopped by to show our 3rd graders opportunities that THEY can have in STEM.

The Fire Wires brought a robot to demonstrate what it can do, they also showed the class videos of recent competitions and answered questions that the 3rd graders had.

The students were REALLY into it, take a look!
