Congratulations to Jace Wager!
Jace golfed his best round of the year at the conference meet while competing against a tough field and finished tied for 10th overall. His hard work, focus, and steady improvement all season continue to show every time he steps on the course.
Keep working, Jace!

The 2nd graders enjoyed a visit to the Dakota Sunset Museum today!










Help support our ✨5✨ FCCLA students who made it to nationals!

More pictures of all of the 'fun in fifth' this week.










5th grade had a busy week! We started the week off with the 3rd-5th field trip to Pierre to tour the state Capitol building. Wednesday we had our science fair showcase, and a guest speaker, Peter Hall, who shared his Lakota & Dakota heritage, and taught us about native agriculture. On Friday, we ended the week with the K-5th field day!










The 2nd grade class visited the community garden yesterday afternoon. While they were there they got to listen to some books about plants and they each got to plant their own plant. They also each received a new book to take home about fruits and vegetables.




Don't forget to join us tomorrow, May 8th, to celebrate our student athletes! Thank you to the Booster Club for providing a meal! Meal at 6, then an inspirational message from Holly Hoffman and awards at 7pm.

The Class of 2026’s top 1 percent of graduating seniors were recognized recently at the 36th Annual Academic Excellence Recognition luncheon for their academic achievements throughout their high school career. Congratulations to Peyton Stevens, pictured with Lieutenant Governor Tony Venhuizen.
