"Minnesota Author Dean Hovey visited with a couple of Mrs. Wilson's English classes in May. Dean shared his love of writing, how an idea for a story evolves into a book, and the role of the publisher throughout the development of a book. The students asked well thought out questions and enjoyed learning about the writing process. Thank you Dean!"

Have you noticed some of the landscaping improvements at the high school and middle school?
Students in Mrs. Cook’s Agmazing class have been working hard on pruning the shrubs near the front office and replacing the mulch to freshen up our schools!
Students in the horticulture and landscaping class also completed a renovation on the south side of the school. Students each drafted their own plan for the space and voted on the best concept, then spent the past two weeks installing new edging, weed barrier, and plants. Great job!!!
Our softball stars are heading to state! The team was greeted at each building for a celebratory walkthrough that created awe inspiring moments, motivating our youngest Vikings. Congratulations & Good Luck!!
