🌎♻️ Happy Earth Day!🌎

Our 7–12th grade advisory students put their words into action by heading out into our local neighborhoods to help make a difference. Together, they collected nearly 100 pounds of trash—showing what teamwork and community pride can accomplish!

We’re proud of our students for taking initiative and helping keep our community clean and beautiful. Every small effort adds up to a big impact! 💚🌱

Last week, March 25-27, 6th graders had the opportunity to participate in a three day-two night trip to Long Lake Conservation Center in Palisade! They got to walk in a bog, hold snakes, compete in a compass orienteering race, enjoy a campfire and s’mores, make their own wilderness meal, build a survival shelter, and so much more!

Thank you to all of the chaperones and all the support from the local businesses and organizations who continue to make this a yearly tradition!

We were excited to welcome instructors from Central Lakes College’s Machine Trades program to our school! ⚙️

Students learned about the opportunities their program has to offer and got a firsthand look at the capabilities of our CNC mill through a live demonstration.

Great exposure to hands-on career pathways and future possibilities in the trades! 👏
