Thank you to, Mr. Brit Porterfield from Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) for coming and visiting the elementary classes on September 10th to teach our students what it is like in a day for someone to go into the underground lab. Students got to ask questions and even try on some equipment!

Learning can be messy—and that’s okay! Our Kindergarten students had a blast using shaving cream to practice recognizing numbers and writing them with their fingers. A fun, hands-on way to make math learning memorable!

Go out and support our volleyball and cross country runners!

Homecoming has changed due to no HS Football. Please take note of the changes and plan accordingly. The calendar posted on the website cannot be changed; however, the "Events" page on the website is updated regularly. Thank you for understanding! Go Gators!

Friendly Reminder About Pickup and Drop-Off Procedures!

Pictures from the First Day, First Book program sponsored by the Blue Line Diner. Kurt and Dawn Olson, owners of the Blue Line Diner, believe that it is important that every elementary child receives a free book on the first day of school to build their own home libraries and to learn and strengthen their reading skills. Thank you, Blue Line Diner, for investing in our children and their future love of reading!

Lady Irrigators Volleyball Fundraiser is here! 1/2 beef processed at Midwestern Meat Locker in Newell. Big thank you to HL Brunner & Sons for supporting our team! Drawing is Sept. 10th. $20/ticket or $100/6 tickets.

Mrs. Geppert's 8th-grade class has been working on team building and communication skills. On Thursday, they did back-to-back drawings and led each other through a "minefield," and today they worked on putting together puzzles without knowing what the puzzle looked like! Students voiced what they learned, saying that clear directions and communication help, and that less outside noise helps them stay focused.

Please note the following important changes:
-Friday, October 2 will be an early-release day for students, including the Homecoming parade.
-Friday, September 18 will now be an off day for the district, and staff will not report to school that day.

You can now find the school breakfast and lunch menus at the top of the website and sports schedules in the middle. If there are any changes to the menus, we'll update them as soon as we receive them. The arrows point to where you can find the updates. Thank you!
