It's beginning to feel a lot more like winter in ND! Please pay attention to the changing temperatures and weather conditions each day! Time to wear winter coats each day and begin preparing for snow gear at any time! Once we have snow on the ground, we need boots and snow pants every day for recess before school and during the day so our students stay warm and school stays clean and dry. Thank you for your help!
So, I may be a bit bias but our One Act Play performers hit it out of the park this morning! I foresee some hardware in the future. We'll find out tonight.

Our elementary school fundraiser items were delivered late yesterday afternoon. We should be able to sort them fairly quickly today. Please come pick them up at your convenience before 4 PM today if possible. Come to the main office at the elementary school to ask for them if your child sold in person. Online orders were typically delivered directly to the customer. Thank you for your support of our annual fundraising efforts, in support of our reading incentive and student council programs!

📢 **Important Update Regarding Today’s Lunch Service at the High School**
We apologize for an inconvenience with lunch today at the high school. Despite extended preparation time, the meal arrived colder than expected. To ensure students still have a satisfying meal, we’re offering two options: students may choose to use a microwave available on-site, or we are working quickly to bring an alternative option, which may take additional time.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to resolve this promptly! 🍽️
Regional Play-in is on Thursday in Wilton at 7pm. Come out and cheer our girls on!

The team members are Camden Diffely, Rickie Ouhl, Robbie Maki, and Avery Sprenger. We are proud of your efforts competing against teams of 6-8th graders, and are excited to see all you may accomplish in the future! Thank you to Ms. Blomquist for the opportunity to compete!
🚨 **Important Reminder for Parents and Students** 🚨
To ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone, we kindly ask that **all elementary students attending games must be accompanied by an adult**.
Additionally, students should remain seated and enjoy the game from the stands—**this is not a time to run around**. Let’s cheer on our teams respectfully and keep the focus on the game. If not, these students will be sent home, in order for others to continue to enjoy the game.🏀🏈⚽
Thank you for your cooperation in making our events safe and fun for all! 🎉
