More pics from the Wolf Ridge ELC trip.
Students were challenged to get the group over the wall in mud, pass everyone through the spiderweb, climb down and up 240 stairs, hike to lookout mountain, play hide and seek camouflage in the woods, rock climbing, high ropes course, take a super hike while participating in a competitive orienteering class, learned about climate change and wild fires in MN. This was a unique experience and the growth, bonding fun and laughter was amazing.
This week's Chopped Challenge was pasta! Students learned how to make pasta from scratch and found yummy recipes to share. There was Shotgun Shells, Lasagna and Pot-stickers.
Donna's advisory spent a couple of days visiting Wolf Ridge ELC. Pics from day 1

The NLCS Annual Health Fair 2024 was last Wednesday. We had tables with reps from the YMCA, Essentia Health, NAMI, Itasca County Public Health, Grand Itasca with Fairview Health, Meds 1, First Call for Help 211, CMH, Kootasca/Circles of Support. There were 15 community representatives interacting/engaging with our students. In addition, our own staff taught CPR/First Aid (Benita/Henry), Mental Health self-care (Haven/Lori), Leisure Walking (Don/Braidy). The overwhelming response from our guests was that our kids were amazing and they'll be back next year to do it again.
Reminder it's Spirit Week at NLCS!

This is a reminder that Presentation Night is tomorrow evening (Tuesday) from 4:30 to 7 pm. The band will be performing as well as the students in the spring play. Soup and chili will be served. Please stop by and see what your student has been working in this year.
Students attend 2024 JazzFest in Duluth on Saturday. One of our student won a summer scholarship to Shell Lake Arts Center in Wisconsin.
Since some social media had some connection issues recently we hadn't noticed that our posts weren't going out as usual. So we're doing a media dump now to get you all updated to what's been going on around NLCS.
Make plans to join us next Tuesday evening for spring presentation night. Starts at 4:30 pm. There will be a light dinner served and the band will play a short program. This is a great opportunity to check your student's progress and meet their teachers.
