Our 3rd and 4th graders are learning to play the flute in Music class! 🎶 Fingers flying, cheeks puffing, and yes… a few *surprise squeaks* filling the room. 😄 With lots of practice, patience, and laughter, these young musicians are turning noise into music—one note at a time!
3rd/4th graders are hard at work practicing for the County Spelling Bee! 🐝📚 Their focus, determination, and willingness to challenge themselves truly shines as they build confidence and sharpen their spelling skills.
We’re proud of the effort they’re putting in and can’t wait to see them represent our school—great job and keep up the hard work!

Congratulations to our 4 students who achieved **Perfect Attendance for Semester 1**! 🎉 Arlene/Braylin/Phyllece/Ma'Lani
This is a huge accomplishment and a true reflection of your dedication, responsibility, and commitment to your education. Showing up every day, on time, and ready to learn takes effort, consistency, and determination. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and it plays a big role in your academic success and personal growth.
We are incredibly proud of you for making attendance a priority and setting a positive example for your classmates.
We had 25 Elementary Students, 7 Junior High Students, and 5 High Students who qualify for the attendance incentive trip (Less then 5 absences in Semester 1).
(Movie in Bismarck, here we come)
Keep up the outstanding work as we move into Semester 2—your commitment today builds the foundation for success tomorrow! 👏📚✨

Special Thank You to Ms. Sue for choosing our 1st & 2nd grade class for the Kindness project. We are truly delighted, and everyone in my class loves the Kindness Blanket. Being thankful and kind at the same time are wonderful traits.
Our 4 Seniors spent some quality time reading UFLI stories with our Kindergarten students, and it was a *great* reminder that learning truly goes both ways. Don’t worry—the Kindergartners were right there to help the Seniors with those *big words* (and may have enjoyed being the experts just a little 😉).
Lots of smiles, laughter, and confidence building all around. This is what school community looks like—older students leading, younger students shining, and everyone learning together. Love moments like this!** ❤️

7th and 8th grade Science students are nearing completion of their robot builds and have begun the testing phase. (Water Robot) Stop by the Science Room and have the students show you their work)
Students are actively applying the scientific method by forming hypotheses, testing their designs, observing outcomes, and making adjustments based on their results.
This hands-on learning experience highlights science at its best—engaging, problem-solving focused, and student-driven. Through trial, error, and collaboration, students are deepening their understanding of engineering concepts while strengthening critical thinking and perseverance skills. Great Job Kiddos

Selfridge 7th and 8th grade students have been hard at work in Science using their Robot Kits, and the learning has been exciting to see!** These hands-on activities allow students to apply problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills in a meaningful way. Building, testing, and refining their robots gives students the opportunity to learn by doing—because hands-on learning truly is the best.
A big thank you to **Mr. Johnson** for providing engaging, high-quality learning experiences that spark curiosity and keep students actively involved. Great work all around!
So excited to see our littles learning to read using **UFLI**! 📚✨ The engagement, focus, and confidence they showed today was incredible to watch. Our students are truly building strong foundational reading skills, and it’s paying off in a big way.
A huge shout-out to **Miss Theresa** and **Miss Patty**—you both absolutely rocked it today! 👏 Your clear instruction, hands-on approach, and positive energy created a learning environment where students felt supported, successful, and excited to read. The routines were smooth, expectations were clear, and the kids were fully locked in from start to finish.
Moments like these are a great reminder that when strong instruction meets dedication and heart, amazing learning happens. So proud of our Kindergarten littles.💙📖

*PE Skills on Display*
* Striker Ball Game*
Students practice striking a ball using controlled swings. This game helps build hand–eye coordination, balance, and timing while teaching students how to aim, adjust force, and avoid accidentally bonking their friends. It’s all about learning to hit the ball on purpose and feeling like a sports superstar while doing it.
*Balloon Skills*
Balloons float, wobble, and refuse to listen—making them perfect teachers. Students respond to cues like “tap,” “catch,” or “don’t let it touch the floor!” while chasing runaway balloons around the space. This activity builds coordination, reaction time, and fundamental motor skills, all while tricking kids into exercising because they’re too busy laughing and saving their balloon from dramatic disaster 🎈
