Our biking class took a morning trip to Tioga Recreation Area to ride the trails. It was a first for the students and we think they had a blast! There were a couple of crashes and wipes but it's all part of the ride.

Next week we will be conducting our NWEA testing on the morning of Tuesday and Wednesday. We utilize the results from NWEA testing to find the baseline scores of your students and monitor where their projected growth should be. We would like to encourage parents to help their student by reminding them to get a good night sleep and breakfast (whether at home or at school) on our testing days. Thank you for your cooperation and have a wonderful weekend!

Environmental Education Day at Boulder Lake. Students learned how to map a forest, team building, studied which invasive species are in the region and observed renewable energy (how Boulder lake is part of a reservoir system of lakes.) A beautiful spring day outdoors and a local critter hung around to see what students were up to!

Fun archery weekend in St. Cloud at the Minnesota State National Archery in the School Program (NASP.) Our archers got to compete amongst fellow archers from all over the state. Over 2000 archers participated at the elementary, middle and high school divisions in Bullseye and 3D target shooting. As the two-day event wrapped up, while final scores were tallied, our own coach Ryan Melhus qualified and participated in a fun shootout of former alumni archers, current archers and coaches. Ryan made it to final round for coaches but was beaten by fellow Region 2 coach from GR. All proceeds from the shootout contribute to archery scholarships for graduating archers.
