Springing Into Action!

Well guys; it's finally here! After 3 long months of winter, we've finally hit the best season of the year; spring time! What does that mean here at Waukesha North? It means the end of long seasons of basketball, wrestling, and swimming, and transitioning into new seasons of sports like tennis, track, and soccer! Outside of the athletic realm, we've also got the upcoming spring play to look forward to, as well as many club activities too! But by far, the thing that students enjoy most about spring is the break that comes with it; here's a few exciting things our school's students are doing over Spring Break:

"Going to Chicago." ~Alyssa Holliman
"I'm going to Disney!" ~Lexi Witek
"College tours!" ~Avery Marzolf
"I'm going to Florida and I've never been to Florida in my life." ~Henry Laste

These students are all super excited about the break on the horizon; and they all have something else in common too! They've all been working hard on this year's yearbook! The book is finally almost completed, and this week the final pages are being sent to the plant to be printed! Spring's also the season to make sure you pickup your yearbook too if you haven't already! You can get yours at yearbookforever.com/waukeshanorth today for $75! Don't miss your chance to get a physical commemoration of all this year's great moments, events, and memories.

Happy Leap Day!


It's the hoppiest day of the year!


By: Malory Strehl & Abby Kokal

February 29th only comes along once every four years, but why? What makes leap day so important? We’ve got the answers to all your leap day questions here at the North Yearbook headquarters!

What is leap day?
Leap day is a day that is added to our calendar every four years and is dated February 29th.
Why do we need a leap day?
A leap day is needed because each revolution around the sun takes more than 24 hours, and without a leap day we would lose six hours a year! Over 100 years that time would accumulate to almost an entire month difference between our calendar and our actual position in orbit.
How can we celebrate leap day?
Leap day may seem like a wasted day, but around the world people have found cool ways to celebrate! Celebrations include throwing parties and spending time with family and friends. Other traditions include setting four year goals and seeing if you accomplish them on this unusual date. Another way to celebrate is to LEAP!


Fun Leap Day Facts!

  • People born on leap day are called leaplings or leapers
  • The Titanic sank during a leap year in 1912
  • Amy Adams and Matthew Goode starred in the 2010 movie entitled “Leap Year”
