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:
There will be an informational meeting on Thursday, November 5th @ 7pm in the Larimore High School Library for those interested or those joining wrestling for the 2026-27 boys and girls wrestling team season.
Good luck to our Chargers volleyball team as they play through districts, beginning on Thursday.
Stay safe while trick-or-treating this weekend; have a great week!
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.

Each month, students who make AR reading milestones get rewarded at monthly celebrations. However, the true reward is the value and love of reading.
Keep reading, kids!

Traci Trostad, NDSU extension agent and 4H coordinator, came to the elementary to talk about 4H last week.
The children learned about the offerings 4H has. The children also played games and had coloring contests throughout National 4H Week, which was celebrated October 4th - 10th.
A rep from Bismarck State College presented their ranch management program to two interested students. It's becoming more common for admission reps to meet students virtually rather than visit schools like they once did. One thing that stood out is at BSC you can major in Ag and then pick up classes in both crop and animal science, rather than be stuck in one track.
If your teen is interested in a college, I'd be happy to help them set up a teams virtual visit.

8 seniors met with a rep from Job Service ND to find out what programs their career goals qualify them for. Over the last few years, we've had several graduating seniors participate in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program that pays up to $16,000 to students majoring in high demand careers.
Currently only two year tech degrees and some outlying programs like CDL and pilot licensing qualify. Talk to Ms. Beckstrom if you have questions or google WIOA ND.

High school parents and guardians… The Knight Club needs you!
Each year, parents/guardians of 7th - 12th graders are asked to contribute and work one home game of concessions. The money raised during these nights goes to a fund that sponsors Dakota Prairie activities and events. Please sign up for a time that would work for you. Thank you!
