Join us for a lovely concert from our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders on Tuesday evening.
Today was Character Day at the elementary in celebration of Reading Month. It was also Pi Day, the day that acknowledges the mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The school was treated to amazing character costumes and Oatmeal Creme Pies.
What a great way to end the week!

Due to Parent/Teacher Conferences at Dakota Prairie School District on Monday, March 17th, there will be no shuttles available for practices. All practices are optional.
Bibi (11th) , Alex (10th), and Ross (10th) attended the Educator Recruiter Day at UND.
The Army recruiter stopped by our school to introduce himself. He grew up in a small town in Louisiana and is very excited to work with us for the next three years. Our boys challenged each other to a pull up bar competition with two tying with 9 reps. If your junior or senior is interested in full or part time service, Ms. Beckstrom can connect you to the recruiter.
