January 11, 2009. The student body (ASPIRANTES) of ASPIRA Charter North, have eagerly participated in a series of recent school-wide fundraising activities for the needy. This effort has been coordinated by the Dean of Students, Ms. Diane Johnson and with the encouragement of all the teaching staff. Our ASPIRANTES have been happily involved in this endeavor and collected coins and one dollar bills for the benefit of others. The turn out has been phenomenal.

We congratulate Mrs. Lopez homeroom class (6-4) for winning first place in the collections for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The group collected a total of $340.00 and will receive a complementary lunch from Olive Garden Restaurant on January 14, 2010.

On December 12, 2009 the chess team of ASPIRA Youth Leadership Charter School in North Miami participated in the Title I Region II Chess Tournament. Once again the team came back to the school with a trophy. The "ASPIRA North" Chess team placed third on this event which qualifies the school to advance to the district tournament in May 2020. The Chess Club members who participated in the competition were elated with their third place and looking forward to the next competition.
