"It has been great having smaller groups of students to work with this fall. There are enough microscopes now for everyone to have one to themself!"
~ Sara Christenson, Middle School Science Teacher



"It has been so much fun having some 8th graders in the robotics class learn how to use the 3D printers, and see some really cool designs that they come up with." ~ Alecia Elfering




"It's been really refreshing seeing how serious my seniors are taking their newly granted right to vote. If they keep this up, the nation's future is indeed in good hands!"
~ Mr. Rushmeyer, High School Social Studies Teacher

Do you have a child in grades 5 through 8 who would be interested in Junior Knowledge Bowl this fall?
The tentative plan is to have practice two days per week, after school (3-4 p.m.), we would have practice each day so students can stay after school on their A or B day. The program cost would be $50 per student and would run from the week of October 19 through early December.
All meets would be virtual, so there would not be travel involved. The meet schedule has not been completed yet.
If you have a child interested, please email me with their name and grade, so we can see if there is enough interest to offer this program.
Thank you, Stacey Austing-Jacobson, Community Education Director
