RAIDER EVENTS: Tuesday 4/2/24
Track Meet @ HOME vs LeSueur Henderson & Lester Prairie @ 4:15 PM


There were a lot of beautiful musical talents last week at the choral ensemble competition at Gustavus Adolphus College. Congratulations to all the students who participated!




Fifth-grade connections students finished up their wood duck houses before spring break. Each student gets to take theirs home to hang up. With the generous donation of lumber, we were able to make some extra houses! Fifth graders will be gifting 2 of them to Long Lake Conservation Center when they head up for their annual overnight trip at the end of April.
A huge thank you to Haggenmiller Lumber for all of the cedar boards! We also want to thank Chad and Julia Braun for cutting all the lumber and for donating hardware. Jim Mesik was also a big help in allowing us to use the cordless drills, ensuring they were charged and ready to go each week.

Students had a great time rotating through the hallways and classrooms doing circuits, Sweating to the Oldies, an obstacle course, riding trikes, and Cosmic Yoga!
