Room Sponsorship

Leave Your Mark
 
As an alumni association, we are always trying to find a way to connect our alumni to the current students at North Side.  We have always provided scholarships and grants, helped with Homecoming and Alumni Night, and generally we have aided in the day to day operations of North Side.  Recently, an idea came to our office that will connect the alumni community to North Side’s current students better than anything we have ever done before.
​
The concept came from senior English teacher Jaron Mann.  She was walking down the halls and noticed areas of the building that were named for staff members.  Then, as she passed classrooms, she saw the biographical sheets of the teachers in the classrooms.  These are throughout the building and our current students can and do look at these and get to know the teachers and other staff members better.

That is when Jaron contacted our office.  She presented her idea, and it was taken to the alumni board.  The board unanimously approved of the idea.  So, this is what we are going to do:​



 
The biography form will look much like the ones that I have included to the above

​We can use your senior picture and/or a current picture.  You can also advertise for your business on this sheet.  It is your biography, so it will be up to you.  You can even design your own if you wish.  Call our office at 260 471-4499 or email at nshsaa@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Basic Information


  1. Each classroom and office in the building can be sponsored each school year by alumni and former staff.
  2. The annual fee for sponsoring a room will be a minimum of $50 per room. (Of course, more will always be accepted.)
  3. For that fee the sponsor gets a biography sheet posted outside the classroom that is sponsored.  Examples are to the left and right.
  4. That person also gets a one-year membership in the alumni association (or a t-shirt if they are already a member).
  5. Our hope is that the sponsor would also take time to come to North Side and meet with at least one of the classes that occupy the room that the alum sponsored.
  6. That meeting with the class(s) would be a time to reflect on the alum’s years at North, what the alum has done since graduation, and give students advise for the future.
  7. All of the funds derived from these sponsorships will be a part of our Grant Fund.  These funds will be available to the classrooms for supplies that the teachers and/or students would normally have to purchase on their own.
