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!
Another reminder that we will be holding an Open House for any new students/families who would like to know more about NLCS. Next Thursday - April 11. Stop in anytime between 3:30 and 7:00 pm. We will serve some spaghetti between 5 and 6 pm. See you soon!
Special thank you to Wes Lofstrom Flooring and Cabinet Corner & Home Center for installing our new floor tiles in the basement over spring break. No more ugly concrete. Excellent work! We appreciate it.
It was good to see everyone last night. Reminder we will be holding an open house in April for new students/families. please help us spread the word.
Students attend 2024 JazzFest in Duluth on Saturday. One of our student won a summer scholarship to Shell Lake Arts Center in Wisconsin.
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.
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.

Looks like Donna's advisory is having a lot of fun at Osprey Wilds. Can't wait to hear the stories when they get back tomorrow.
Students took a trip around the solar system at the Palucci Space Theater and perused through Iron Range history at the Minnesota Discovery Center.
Thank you to Donna's advisory for doing some early spring cleaning for a Warba resident. Community service is what we do.
We have a school project car some students have been working on the last few months to prepare to sell. It looks like the brakes are in and the oil has been checked. Almost ready to hit the road!

Today was a special activity day. The middle-level students taught us about natural disasters. The Semmler Farm brought a Scottish Highland cow and other farm animals to check out up close. Students also learned about the climate and weather as well as the Conservation Corps.
