The FBLA awards night that was scheduled for April 25 has been postponed, to be determined at a later date.

It was the Region 8 Regional Speech Meet yesterday. The meet began in the later afternoon and went late into the evening. It was a full day for the students, but if they were drained from the week, they didn't show it. Here are the results:
Regionals
Kara—Serious (2nd) State-qualified
Zack and Kara—HDD (3rd) State qualified
Zack—Radio (2nd) State-qualified
Mason—Extemp (3rd) State-qualified
Kali—Inform (5th)
Ashlynn—Persuade (2nd) State-qualified
Jade—Impromptu (5th)
Overall, they placed 4th as a team. Not too shabby for a small group of students from a small school. Wonderful job to each one of you!! Also, thank you to our coaches Mrs. Bartz and Mrs. Uhlich! Great job!!!








Everett, Ryder, Quincy, Ella, and Tiegan were chosen by the Minot Area Chamber EDC to compete in the National Civics Bee based on an essay they had written about problems they see in their community and how they would tackle it. They also had to explain how their solutions incorporated Founding Principles and Civic Values. Today was competition day which entailed three rounds- two of grueling questions and one with a judges panel. Everette advanced to the 3rd round of competition and qualified for STATE this summer! We are so proud of these students!! Great Job!!





The 4th graders had their instrument fitting yesterday for next year’s band class! It was fun to watch them explore different instruments and start to find their musical match. Can’t wait to see what they choose!

Mrs. Gahner’s 3rd graders are seeing the results of their hard work!
Thanks to microgreen kits from the North Dakota Department of Agriculture, students have successfully grown their own tiny crops. They’ve learned about plant life cycles, healthy eating, and the joy of growing food. Look at those greens! 🌱
