Yesterday was the Day of Action for our Middle and High School students! Students were dispersed throughout our communities to lend a helping hand wherever it was needed. Crews cleaned road ditches in all directions, completed park cleanup projects, washed fire trucks and equipment at the fire station, helped with painting projects, and so much more!
We are proud of the way our students represented our school and communities through their hard work and service. The best part we were able to be outside enjoying a beautiful day.
A special thank you to First National Bank of Evansville for supplying Root Beer Floats for all of the students after they returned from their duties!

Congratulations to Tristan Zastrow as Maddex Wagner for earning medals by finishing 4th and 6th at the Border West JV golf meet in Wheaton. Great job, boys!

Mrs. Wendt’s 2nd-grade class has been pen pals with Mrs. Koefod’s 2nd-grade class in Ashby all year long, and today they finally got to meet each other in person! It was such a fun and exciting day for the students to connect with the friends they have been writing to throughout the school year.
Not only has this been a wonderful way to build friendships, but it has also helped students grow tremendously as writers. Since the beginning of the year, students’ writing abilities, confidence, and communication skills have greatly improved through their letters and conversations with their pen pals. We are so proud of all the hard work they have put into their writing this year!

The 4th graders attended the 33rd annual Kids' Groundwater Festival at the RCC in Alexandria. Students learned about all the aspects of the water cycle, they got to make human-sized bubbles, learn about wetlands, water quality, and took part in Water Jeopardy. The Science Museum of MN also gave a presentation on water and where it comes from.
