Even though this conference is intended to help give our members experience with practicing their events, that makes it extra fun to celebrate our top 10 place winners!

🥶Building Update
Earlier today, our K–7 building experienced some heating issues, resulting in a portion of the morning without heat. During that time, some classrooms turned into “winter wear zones,” with students choosing to wear their coats while our maintenance team worked on the problem. Thanks to their quick work and temporary fixes, heat has been restored to the building. We will continue to monitor the system and are working to schedule permanent repairs as soon as possible. A big thank-you to our maintenance team—and to our students and staff—for their patience and flexibility.

🗳️🏛️ Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🏛️🗳️
Last week, some of our high school juniors--along with students from USC and Maple River--had an incredible experience at County Government Day, getting a behind-the-scenes look at how local government works. Students toured the courthouse, met with the judge, observed real court cases, and even sat in on a County Commissioners meeting, gaining first hand insight into local decision-making.
They also visited the law enforcement center, public works department, DMV, Drainage, 4H, Soil and Water, GIS, and Planning and Zoning, learning about the many services and career opportunities that support our community.
To top it off, students enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by the Blue Earth American Legion Auxiliary—thank you for your hospitality and support! During lunch, students had the opportunity to hear from local probation officers and the veterans service coordinator, gaining even more perspective on community services and careers.

🥞💀Mrs. Eckhardt’s Anatomy & Physiology students put their knowledge to the test in a deliciously creative way—by carving assigned bones out of pancakes! Each piece came together to form a full skeleton, complete with some seriously impressive (and anatomically correct) details.
