Tomorrow the 8th Grade will be going on a field trip to Bismarck. There will be no buses picking up your child so please make sure they are at the school by 6:50am. The bus will depart from the school at 7:00am. They will receive a grab and go breakfast when they get on the bus. They plan to return back to the school by 6:30-7:00pm so someone will need to be at the school to pick up your child as there will be no buses to take them home.

As we celebrate Staff Appreciation Week, I want to thank all the "educators." In many cases, we think of educators as teachers. This is not entirely true. Education comes in many forms. It comes in the day-to-day conversations with students. It comes in the love and care we show our students. It comes in being a role model for our students. I want to thank each and every staff member for being that positive educator.
At last night's Reading Fair, it was exhibited how much we care about our students. Staff dressing up and entertaining our kids, staying late, or putting in the extra time, to show our students how much we truly care about their education. This is the epitome of being an educator.
I thank all of the bus drivers, kitchen staff, paras, teachers, administrators, custodial staff, maintenance, office/business staff, school board members, and other support staff, for being the great educators you are! For that, we provide a great education for our students. Go Woodchucks!
Breakfast Change: Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 7th, breakfast will be Ham & Hashbrowns & Toast. Wednesday, May 8th will be Muffins
