It is always a great morning recess when the SJPS Football team visits for football at Northside.
Good luck to our SJPS Football team at their homecoming game and to our #NorthsideStJ youth football players as they compete for a championship this weekend.
It is great to see our older athletes supporting our future athletes. #GoSaints

The NED Show visitied #NorthsideStJ students and staff today.
The NED Show, is a character education program that centers around three important messages that have lifelong relevance: Never give up, Encourage others and Do your best. During the assembly, students learned about the importance of these three life skills while also enjoying storytelling, magic, humor and yo-yo tricks.
The NED Show yo-yos will be available for purchase at school to support the free show and message. If your student has already purchased a yoyo, here is an important link to help them get off to a good start with proper string length adjustment, click here.
Additionally, here are a couple of our favorite follow up home resources from The NED Show website. You may want to use these with your child as they are designed to go hand in hand with the program.
The NED Pledge
Champion Choices
If you'd like additional resources, they are available here.
And don’t forget to ask your student what they learned in the show about Never giving up, Encouraging others and Doing your best!
