Our High School Life Skills 2 class has been diving into how to form friendships and communication to help form new friendships.
The class did a joint lesson with Village Northwest Unlimited in town. They spent the class period painting pumpkins with residents of VNU. Our students and the residents of VNU were able to practice communication skills that can help form friendships with new people!
This was as much fun as it was a good learning experience for everyone involved!

The AM and PM Preschool classes took a field trip to Solsma's Pumpkin Patch today!
Our students got to peel flint corn to see the different colors that corn can be, we even found one that was orange and black for the Orabs!
Students also got to walk through the patch, learn how pumpkins grow and change colors, learn about the different types of pumpkins, touch some pumpkin vines and pick out their own little pumpkin to take home with them.
Preschool had such a fun day at the Pumpkin Patch!

Kindergarten students went on a field trip to Northwestern College in Orange City to see the children's play, " Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor"
The students loved the play and they even got to do a meet and greet with the actors in the play, which the students thought was AMAZING!
After the play the students went to the park to eat lunch and play with their classmates before heading back to school for the afternoon.

A few weeks ago we shared the beginning stages of the Middle School "Drip Drop" art project. Each student created their own part and then, when finished combined it with the other students' completed work to create a new bigger piece of art.
This project is special because the finished art piece has a little piece of each of the students' talents in it.
The "Drip Drop" art project is now complete and hanging up in the Middle School.

Our Junior class was able to go to Northwest Iowa Community College today for Career Day.
Career Day is a time for students to learn more about careers that they are interested in pursuing after high school. Some career areas that students got to learn more about included nursing, engineering, auto mechanic, architecture, radiology, accounting and more. Students were able to learn about 3 different careers that were of interest to them throughout the morning.
Students then attended the college fair, where area colleges had more information about what programs they offer, as well as a time for students to as specific questions.
Thanks to Northwest Iowa Community College for offering this opportunity for our area students.

A bunch of hard working farmers showed up for school today at East Elementary.
Students and staff got to dress up like farmers today for Homecoming!
We thank all farmers for the work they put in each day. We hope everyone has a safe harvest season!
We had a lot of little farmers today in preschool!
