Middle and high school students gather in Mrs. Terhark’s room on Wednesday mornings for Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Students enjoy breakfast together, spend time in fellowship, and participate in devotions. It is a great opportunity for students to connect, encourage one another, and start their Wednesday morning with faith and friendship!

Sophomore students are putting their public speaking skills to the test in English class! As part of their first-semester speech class, students are presenting “How-To” speeches, teaching their classmates how to complete a task or perform a specific skill. Some topics have included how to do wall sits, perform a wrestling takedown, build a pyramid, and score a goal in hockey. These presentations give students an opportunity to practice speaking confidently in front of an audience.

**K-5 students: Bring back your reading log to get your coupon for a treat at Lake Grocery. Students that hand in their reading log every month will be awarded with a pizza party in April.

First-grade students are building their addition skills while playing a math game called Capture Squares! Students take turns adding numbers and using their sums to complete squares on the game board. This fun game encourages students to practice addition facts.

We're trying to fill a fan bus to Rapid City to cheer on our Cyclones in the semifinals!

Estimated cost is currently $42 per rider, but we're working on sponsorships to hopefully lower that price!
This is just an interest form, not an official commitment.

We will keep everyone posted on if the bus is a go or not!
