North hosts Bears Mini Monsters clinic

On May 4, North Elementary hosted a Mini Monsters clinic led by the Chicago Bears.

Penguins in grades 2–5 rotated through football-themed stations focused on throwing, catching, running drills, and tackling exercises. Former Chicago Bears wide receiver Fabien Bownes encouraged students throughout the clinic, motivating them as they built confidence.

North Elementary staff and volunteers helped keep the energy high at every station, cheering students on and creating a fun, supportive atmosphere. Laughter and Penguin pride were on full display as students stayed active and enjoyed the day together.

Thank you to the Chicago Bears, along with the dedicated staff and volunteers at North, for providing such a memorable day of fun, fitness, and learning for our Penguins!
