Congratulations to Aidan and Eugene for advancing to the State MathCounts competition!! They will compete in Bismarck at the end of March.
Student Council has sponsored hat days in honor of a local family (and former and future Bob Callies Elementary students) in Heart Month. Baby Ellie Behles and her mom and dad came in today and we gave them what we have collected so far: over $680 to go toward medical bills and expenses they have had! One more week to help them during heart month! Thank you all for your generosity!
So proud of our students who competed in the Acalympics in Plaza today. After the first round, our students were in a 4 way tie for first. The top 3 teams move onto the lightening round. In the lightening round, we finished in second place, lost by 1 point. Great job, you represented our school so well!!
We'd like to extend a special thank you to Cole Glatt, owner of Zack Shack Fish Houses, for his generosity. He donated half the cost of the frame for us to build our portable dog house. The second picture shows what we intend to build. Also, trap sign up will be out in the very near future with the season beginning March 31.
A big thank you to Kevin from NDCEL who presented Crucial Conversations to all teachers today for Professional Development.
We would like to recognize and thank our SRO Dave Kamp on SRO Appreciation Day. Thank you for all you do for Admin, teachers, staff, and students. You are amazing. Our district is fortunate for all you do. Have a phenomenal day!!

All,
Please allow for additional travel time this morning as highways and gravel roads are slick knowing it's still winter in ND. The visibility is great. State plows have been out, but as of 5:45 when I returned to town county plows have not been out.
Dr. K.
Thankful Thursday:
Did you know that it is National School Counseling Week and we have two of the best school counselors on earth? We are grateful for all they do in both of our schools! From testing, to classroom lessons, to career planning, to behavior strategies, to filling in for any area as needed, plus just being supportive listeners and problem solvers--our schools wouldn't be the same without Mrs. Hanson and Mrs. Ruud! Thank you for all you do!
Today students at Bob Callies Elementary participated in Global School Play Day. This day is observed annually every first Wednesday in February. This holiday promotes the importance of unstructured, regular play for children.
As Fred Rogers said, "Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."
We know our students enjoyed their work today and encourage everyone to find time for unstructured play every day!
