North High School’s football stadium will now be known as Bundrant Stadium, following a dedication Tuesday commemorating the generosity of North High School alumnus Chuck Bundrant and his wife, Diane.  The media center and a science laboratory at North were also dedicated in recognition of his extended family.

The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation Board of School Trustees voted in May to honor the Bundrant family’s generosity by naming two rooms after the family -- The Charles L. and Algie M. Bundrant Media Center and the Joe and Marie Schultheis Science Laboratory Classroom.

The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s North High School was announced as a gold rated recipient of the Health Hoosier Awards by the Indiana Department of Education today (6-8-12). Fifteen other schools in the EVSC were also announced award winners.

Now in its eighth year, the Healthy Hoosier School Award was developed by the Indiana Action for Healthy Kids Team. The award honors Indiana schools that have policies and educational programs in place to promote proper nutrition and increased physical activity among students. The winners are selected for their exemplary level of commitment to create an environment that encourages children to have healthy habits.

For children to get the most out of their education they need to be as healthy as possible – and getting immunized is one of the best ways to keep kids from getting sick. But for families who lack quality health insurance, finances can be an obstacle. The EVSC School-Community council, in collaboration with several other groups will sponsor free school and sports physicals, immunizations, and dental screenings for Kindergarten, 6th, and 9th grade students who are residents of Vanderburgh, Warrick, or Posey Counties and are without insurance or have insurance that doesn’t cover these services.

The Back to School Blitz is scheduled for Saturday, August 4th from 9:00am – 1:00pm at ECHO Community Health Care’s Main Campus clinic, located at 315 Mulberry Street in Evansville.
