Last night, the Hardin Northern High School Varsity Girls hosted Upper Scioto Valley, and the Bears came out on top with a strong 41–19 victory! 🏀

Leading the way were Addy Bacon with 16 points and Lainey Thomas with 11 points. Great job, ladies!

Way to go, Bears! 🏀

On Wednesday, Sophomores in our Student Leadership group attended their December meeting at Ridgemont. Students took a tour of their campus which was then followed by a presentation from Amanda Raines. She worked with students on how to manage their time, stress, and the importance of having a team full of supporters. The next meeting will be hosted by Kenton in January.

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.

Good early evening. We hope you can all make it out to the elementary Christmas concert tonight. If you are planning to come out, please drive safely. The roads have become drifted and icy, so be cautious. Hope to see you there!
