Drake-Anamoose School Districts

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!
