Congratulations to the November Students of the Month! 👏
Today, our November Students of the Month had the chance to enjoy a special lunch with Mr. Halsey. It’s always wonderful to recognize students for their positive efforts and the great things they’re doing each day.
And there’s more — once the weather warms up, they’ll also get to enjoy an extra recess as an additional reward.

The Grinch Strikes Again! 💚🎄
While our second graders were in Ms. Cross’s room working on a special project, something mischievous happened back in their rooms. When they returned, things were definitely disrupted, and the mystery was on!
Our second graders wasted no time launching their investigation. They compared clues, shared ideas, and debated their theories with full determination. And after all their detective work, they’ve reached one big conclusion:
They think Riley Newton is the Grinch.🔍
Each student had their own reasons and their own “evidence,” and they are certain Riley is up to no good again. This Grinch mystery is driving everyone crazy… because we still can’t quite figure out who it really is!
Stay tuned — the hunt continues!👀
Throwback Thursday!
Today’s throwback comes from the 1999 Northern Lites and features our Future Farmers of America hard at work preparing food for their “Baskets of Cheer” program at Christmas time.
This photo is a great reminder that the spirit of giving and community pride has always been at the heart of what it means to be a Polar Bear.
Last night our K–3rd graders took the stage for their Christmas program, followed by an impressive performance from our 6th grade band. The kids did an absolutely amazing job! Their holiday spirit truly shined. We are so proud of each and every one of them!
Today, our sixth-grade students rolled up their sleeves and got busy preparing decorations for tonight’s Elementary Christmas Program. Everything is looking fantastic!
We can’t wait for everyone to see their hard work on display this evening. Great job, sixth graders! The program starts at 6:00 p.m. and is for Kindergarten-3rd Grade & 6th Grade Band.
Enter into executive session to consider employment of a public employee or official.
The first is the Hardin Northern Community Scholarship. Money given to this fund is given to graduating seniors that are attending college the following year. The scholarships are typically $500 each. This is a cash in cash out type scholarship. The class of 2025 had 8 $500 Community Scholarship winners.
The second is the Hardin Northern Scholarship Foundation. Donations to the foundation of less than $10,000 are deposited and the interest goes to fund Polar Bear Legacy Scholarships of $500 each. The money donated is never spent, only the interest. Therefore, the larger the foundation grows, the more legacy scholarships we can give. In addition, donations of $10,000 or more become named scholarships of their own with independent applications. The class of 2025 was awarded 5 $500 Polar Bear Legacy Scholarship, 1 $1,000 Norma Bibler Scholarship, and 2 $500 and 2 $500 Robert P. Wildman Scholarships.
If you would like to donate to either of these scholarship funds, please write a check tothe fund you wish to donate to. Either the HN Community Scholarship or the HN Scholarship Foundation. Checks can be mailed to the school in care of Brennon Hattery. If you are interested in naming a scholarship with a $10,000 donation, you can talk to Mr. Hattery for more information.
🎺🎶 Calling all Hardin Northern Band Alumni! 🎶🎷
The Hardin Northern Band Department would love to have you join our Pep Band this basketball season! Last year’s Alumni Night was such a hit that we’re opening it up to multiple games this year!
Don’t worry if your old instrument’s collecting dust somewhere (or long gone )—we have extras available and would be thrilled to have you back in the crowd bringing that Polar Bear spirit to life again! We have flutes, clarinets, French horn/mellophones, trumpets, trombones, baritones, tuba, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals and quads! Something for everyone! Although we have instruments available for alumni who would like to join the pep band, they will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. So if you’re planning to play, be sure to reach out early to reserve yours!
Come relive the fun, the music, and the memories!🎺
The game on Saturday starts at 3:00 p.m. for the JV game. Alumni should be there by 4:00 p.m. in the band room.
