Our elementary students had an assembly this morning centered around thankfulness, school-wide expectations, leadership opportunities for our fifth graders (they helped lead today!) and the unveiling of our yearly goal and reward for reading points by winter break! We also surprised our students with these awesome shirts donated by Street Graphex in Milbank! Thank you to Beth and Mark for their generous gift and a huge Thanksgiving thank you to all of our parents/guardians for getting your kids to school each day- we are abundantly thankful for all of them and their unique personalities and gifts they bring to our school! #ONEPACK #ONEPURPOSE
-Mr. Hanson

School will be dismissed early today due to weather. NO WASP or afternoon/evening activities including practice. All students will be served lunch early.
Free community meal at the school next week!
The "Shine a Light on Reading " event was a success! It's always amazing watching our older students lead by serving our younger students!
Congratulations to Jada and Brooklyn on their selection for the Eastern Coteau All Conference 2nd Team!

Families of students in Football, Volleyball, and Football Cheer,
We will be doing a Fall Awards Banquet in McKenna Hall on Tuesday, December 2nd at 7:00pm.
The W-Club will provide a main course, a drink, plates, and silverware. Attendees are asked to bring a dish to pass. We are doing the meal a little bit differently this year: Families whose last name starts with A to G bring a dessert, H through R bring a side or salad, and S through Z bring a hotdish. We will eat first and the awards program will follow. Student-athletes and managers will be recognized at the awards program.
See you there,
Grant Hanson, AD
For anyone who may have missed the meeting!

We love our SRO Deputy Schmidt! In addition to ensuring our students and staff feel safe, he runs our DARE class for our fifth graders. He also loves to catch up on what's going on in our district by reading our newsletter! :) Thank you for all you do for us!!

As we get closer to the basketball season, we have some positions that need to be filled! These are all paid positions. If you are interested in any of these options, reach out to Mr. Hanson. Let him know if you can help out with any games or all games! Official book needed for boys only, shot clock for both boys and girls, and adult officials will be needed for some junior high games as well as potential C games. Thanks!
