Wanted: Donations for small sale items for our Elementary Student Council to sell at Santa's Workshop. If you are trying to downsize your children's gently used or new toys before you're getting more, or you have some small new or gently used gift items that you no longer need that would fit into a small gift bag, we would be interested! Please contact Mrs. Fuller at 701-463-2213 by Dec. 9 to arrange drop off or if you have any questions. Thank you!
Our Cards and Cookies event is underway! If you registered and haven't made it yet, head over to the elementary gym! You aren't too late until after 6!
Let's keep building this pile of cereal to have a trail of dominoes through the school AND donate to our food pantry at the same time! Bring them to the elementary by Dec. 5 and we will line them up Friday, Dec. 6, and knock them down! Which House group can have the most donated?
Garrison Junior High and HS Winter Concert Tuesday, Nov. 26 at 7 PM at the HS gym
The JH game that was postponed on Tuesday will now be played on December 5th at 4pm in Turtle Lake.
All, I am on my second country loop after digging out the school... I will be frank and say as nasty out here as it was the first time. Visibility is near zero in several places and I have hit 2-4' drifts in spots. Given the wind is not supposed to reduce until later today, I've made the unfortunate decision to cancel school. Stay safe and warm!
All,
School will be starting at 10:00 am with staff reporting by 9:40. The roads were not great on the route tonight and are only getting worse with more snow/near zero visibility. There will be no AM preschool or breakfast. Should we need to cancel, that decision will be made by 8:00 am.
Thanks.
Dr. K.
The JH game in Turtle Lake has been postponed(a later date TBD)
Also, no wrestling practice in Velva today. Stay safe and warm
Dr. K. here...
Winter has come. That being said, I'm out checking roads with nothing significant to report at this time. However, the forecast is showing greater chances of snow paired with high winds later today throughout tomorrow. Visibility and ice building under the snow could make travel interesting. I will reassess things upon my return from driving bus this afternoon and also tomorrow morning. Should there be a need for postponement or cancellation you will be notified.
Thank you!
In case you forgot, TODAY is the deadline to register!
Cards and Cookies for K-6!
Please join us at the elementary school for a fun family engagement night on Dec. 3 from 5-6 PM! RSVP by Nov. 19 so we know how to plan! The attached notes went home to elementary families with the QR code, or RSVP here: https://tinyurl.com/Cards-and-Cookies
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.

Elementary fundraiser items are sorted and lining our main hallway! Please come pick them up by 4 pm or earlier today, or call the school to make arrangements. We will not send them with students. Thank you!
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!
Join us tonight for a presentation of "Poe-Dunked" by the Garrison One-Act team. Doors open at 6:45, performance starts at 7. Free will donation.
