Hello NLCS Families! With the holiday season approaching, we want to reach out and let you know about our school pantry. We have snacks and meal supplies available at school. If your family is worried about food security, please reach out to the school counselor, Danica Steere at danica.steere@nlcschool.org or call her at the school. You can also have your students talk to her as well. At the school, we want to help support the families that support our school. We want to make sure our students, and their families are fed! If you are able and wanting to help support the school pantry, please reach out to Danica as well!

From Haven (Special Education Teacher) "I wanted to share something that I am doing in the civics class with my kiddos as a form of formative assessment and note taking. You may be familiar with the term "mind maps" this is essentially what we are doing here. This article I am attaching explains: Drawing wins out because it allows information to be processed in multiple ways, explained Edutopia’s research editor Youki Terada: “When we draw, we encode the memory in a very rich way, layering together the visual memory of the image, the kinesthetic memory of our hand drawing the image, and the semantic memory that is invoked when we engage in meaning-making.”" https://www.edutopia.org/article/science-drawing-and-memory

Boot Drive for Marcell Research Center Trip
In just a couple of weeks, our students will be heading to the Marcell Research Center for hands-on learning. Because the experience takes place outdoors, mud boots are essential—but not every student has access to a pair.
We’re asking for help from our community. If you have new or gently used boots to donate, please contact Northern Lights Community School at 218-492-4400. Your generosity will ensure that every student can fully participate in this valuable experience.
Thank you for supporting our students!
