A special thanks to the FCA group for joining the elementary for High Five Friday! We had such a fabulous morning!
It's always a great day when the O'Brien County Naturalist comes to visit! The preschool students learned about turtles and observed two real turtles.
Today, the FFA officers visited the Middle School as part of National FFA Week. The current FFA officers spoke to the 8th graders and encouraged them to join FFA next year. They even participated in a competitive game of tug-of-war! Who do you think won?

This week is National FFA Week, and today is Thank a Farmer Day! To celebrate, HMS students had the opportunity to drive their tractor to school today!
Remember to thank a farmer today. Without them, we wouldn’t have the food we eat, the clothes on our backs, and so much more. Happy National FFA Week and Thank a Farmer Day!
