Have you ever heard of a game called 9 Square in the Air? Well, it is a big hit at Northern Lights. I tried a turn at it today and managed to be King for about 3 turns before I was dethroned.
Reminder: Picture Day is this Wednesday - 10/25.

An update from last week...three students attended the MAAP STARS Leadership Conference held at Camp Beauty in Long Prairie. Representative Addie's term in office was up and she turned over her position to a newly elected student.
Donna's advisory visited Big Sandy in McGregor yesterday. They heard a presentation from the Army Corp of Engineers regarding dams and how they affect the environment. They also visited the foundation of an old Native school and burial grounds.
Thank you to Mark and Nancy Carlson for making a donation that allowed the PE biking class to purchase some snazzy safety vests. We appreciate your support.

Huge congratulations to the Northern Lights Community School graduating class of 2023! It was a great ceremony last night. Thanks to all who came and thanks to all who put up with the heat and humidity! Lots of scholarships were handed out - over $40,000 in total!
Graduation is tomorrow (Thursday) evening in the gym. We will serve some burgers and hotdogs at 5:00 and start the ceremony at 6:30 pm. Please join us. (The practice for the seniors will be held at 1:00 pm.)
Nice afternoon at the Legion Beach today. Kids were swimming, fishing, and having a lot of fun. And almost no bugs!
Tomorrow is Lake Day! We'll be at the lake all day. Please bring water bottles, sunscreen, and bug spray!
Today was the day we had to say goodby to our baby trout. As you can see in the pics, they've been released to the wild, but the predators moved in fast looking for a snack. Good thing we had some pro fishermen with us to protect our little friends.
