Freshmen in Mrs. Meland's Physical Science class practiced measuring, math, and unit conversions using their bodies during a lab last week. Ezra and Malachai (above) and Juliette and Emily (right) are pictured measuring their wingspans.
A Little Recess Never Hurts
Mrs. Nordquist's ACT students have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather by enjoying a little after-lunch recess each day this week. Walks, frisbee games, and kickball have kept everyone busy and enjoying a little late summer sunshine!

MEET THE NEW TEACHER
Name: Kaia Bolsoy
Subjects Taught/Position: Personal Finance and Algebra II/ High School Math Teacher
Experience: 2 years as Graduate Teaching Assistant at SDSU in Brookings, SD; 1 year of Student Teaching Experience at Hamlin Education Center
What is one of your favorite things about working in schools? I enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of the school community.
What is your favorite dish from the cafeteria? I haven't had a meal from the cafeteria yet, but the pizza seems to be an appetizing option.
How do you spend your summer breaks? On summer break, I work at my parents' business, a pet-boarding kennel, as well as bake all sorts of delicious treats.
What would students be surprised to find out about you/something interesting about yourself you’d like to share? I am half-Finnish and can understand Finnish as well as speak it to some degree. They also might be surprised that reading was my favorite thing to do when I was in high school, not math! But I absolutely loved my university math classes: they were very difficult but very rewarding.
Get Caught Doing Something Good!
A shout out to STELLA RICE this week for stepping up and helping out.
Last week at the Sisseton-Milbank volleyball game, Stella took an extra moment to help clean up the Milbank gym bleachers where everyone had been sitting. Thanks for taking the extra time and energy to help make a good impression as a visiting fan!
