First-grade students recently had a special visit from Betsy Ross, portrayed by American Legion Auxiliary member Judy Twete, who brought a piece of American history to life in the classroom!
Students learned about the history of our nation’s flag and the important traditions and etiquette associated with displaying and respecting the American flag. Through Betsy’s visit, students gained an appreciation for the meaning behind our flag and the pride it represents in our country.
The excitement continued as each student received a flag to take home, thanks to the generous sponsorship of the American Legion of McVille. They were also delighted to enjoy a patriotic treat (cookies with red, white, and blue sprinkles) made by another Legion Auxiliary member, Sandy Dalburg.
We are grateful to Judy Twete, Sandy Dalburg, and the American Legion Auxiliary for taking the time to share this meaningful lesson with our young learners, and to Judy Sateren and the American Legion of McVille for making the flags possible.
It is our hope that “Flags for 1st Graders” will become an annual tradition, helping each new group of first graders learn about our nation’s flag, understand the importance of showing it respect, and develop a lasting sense of patriotism.

Congratulations to both Amaya Brueckner and Hadley Strand on competing in the state cross country meet this past Friday! Both girls showed a lot of grit and determination throughout the season, which culminated in a challenging race on a tough course in Jamestown.
Cross country is not an easy sport, but these two young women handled its challenges with grace, setting personal bests throughout the season and showing what hard work and consistency can accomplish. Way to go, girls! Here’s to another successful season next year!
Attention 7th-12th families interested in wrestling:

The 10A 7 Mindsets group project for Passion First focused on revamping our Veterans Wall of Honor. Students dedicated many hours to this project, demonstrating tremendous commitment, teamwork, and attention to detail. The process involved multiple layers of paint, hours of careful taping, and a great deal of detailed work to bring the vision to life. With the goal of completing the project before Veterans Day, students went above and beyond by working before and after school, during Knight Time, and even during their Study Halls. Their hard work and dedication reflect the true meaning of Passion First, and we are incredibly proud of their efforts to create a meaningful tribute to our veterans.
Check out all the majors/programs that WIOA (Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act) will help pay students to go into. The list changes every July based on the needs of the state.
