Our JH/HS had a higher family attendance rate than the Elementary, which means JH/HS earned a FIELD TRIP! 🚌🎉

Warrior Radio Show – Maurice/Esther/Tristan

The Warrior Radio Show began in 2019 and is now in its seventh year. Through a partnership with Selfridge Public School, Standing Rock Community High School, NDSU Extension, and KNLD Radio, approximately 15 students each year gain hands-on experience planning, producing, and hosting radio shows.

The program builds communication, leadership, teamwork, and confidence while giving students a voice in their communities. Students also explore broadcasting careers, interview community members, and develop valuable real-world skills.

**Celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day at Selfridge Public School!** 🧡

We are excited to have **Della No Heart and Kathy Froelich** joining us at Selfridge Public School for a very special day of learning, sharing, and celebrating! Throughout the day, they will be meeting with our students to discuss **Dakota Ways and Values**, giving students an opportunity to learn more about Dakota culture, traditions, respect, responsibility, community, and the values that continue to guide generations.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for our students to **listen, learn, ask questions, and strengthen their connection to Dakota history, culture, and values**.

At Selfridge Public School, we believe learning goes far beyond the classroom. Days like this help our students better understand who they are, where they come from, and the importance of carrying cultural knowledge and values forward.

🏀 **SELF RIDGE PUBLIC SCHOOL BASKETBALL UPDATE** 🏀 (Sign up Sheet on Mr. Mahon's Door)

Selfridge Public School has officially entered into a **sports co-op with Solen/Cannon Ball** for **Boys and Girls Basketball**.

As many of you may not be aware, the **Standing Rock Warriors discontinued their co-op with Selfridge Public School and Fort Yates Public School**. Because of that decision, we needed to find another opportunity that would allow our students to continue participating in school athletics.

Our priority is, and will continue to be, **our students**. We believe athletics are an important part of the school experience and provide students with opportunities to compete, build friendships, develop teamwork, and represent their school and community.

We are thankful to **Solen/Cannon Ball** for working with Selfridge Public School and welcoming our student-athletes into this new basketball co-op.

🧡🖤 We are excited for the upcoming season and, most importantly, excited that our Selfridge students will continue to have the opportunity to play basketball!

**One School • One Family • One Mission**

🏀 **Good luck to all of our student-athletes this season!**
