The seniors in Cyber Security and Financial Literacy classes had the opportunity to hear from Taylor Hanson, BSA Risk Specialist from Cornerstone Bank. Taylor is a graduate of Stanley High School and former FBLA member who returned to share her educational and career journey.
Taylor emphasized the importance of developing strong computer literacy skills in high school and explained how those skills continue to benefit her career today. She shared that she chose to study business at Mayville State University because she knew she wanted to return to Stanley after college and wanted a degree that would provide local career opportunities.
She also spoke about the value of her professional development course in college, which helped prepare her for the workplace and ultimately contributed to her success in securing her current position. Taylor discussed the importance of evaluating factors such as benefits, work schedules, and long-term opportunities when making career decisions.
After graduating, Taylor worked as a bank teller at Cornerstone Bank in New Town for a year before pursuing a new challenge. She remained interested in the banking industry and successfully applied for her current role as a BSA and Fraud Specialist.
Students learned about the many types of scams Taylor encounters in her work and how she investigates suspicious transactions to determine whether they are legitimate or fraud-related. She concluded by sharing practical fraud prevention tips, including turning on transaction notifications and helping educate older family members, as senior citizens are often targeted by scammers.
Thank you, Taylor, for taking the time to invest in our students and provide valuable insights into careers in banking, fraud prevention, and financial security!

Students at the elementary school celebrated International Dot Day with Mrs. Stafslien in the library this week! 📚
We read the book "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds which is about a little girl who feels like she can't draw. Her teacher tells her to make a mark and see where it leads. She becomes inspired by her dot to keep creating and to never give up!
Each student K-6 created their own dot, discussed perseverance, and jumped around to some dot dances as well! We have them hanging as a gallery to remind us that we are all unique and to keep going even when we think we can't!

🍴 Something New Is Cooking at Concessions This Year! 👩🍳👨🍳
You may notice some changes to our concession menus this year—and there’s a pretty exciting reason why!
This year, our Food Service & Culinary Arts class—the culminating foods course available to our students—is taking a much bigger role in concessions. Students will be planning menus, preparing food, and putting the skills they’re learning in class into practice by helping create the food served at our school events.
As part of preparing for this experience, the entire class has worked through ServSafe food-safety protocols, learning about safe food handling, sanitation, preparation, and the responsibilities that come with serving food to others.
And we love the full-circle aspect of this experience. ❤️
Most of the students in this class are juniors, which means they aren’t just gaining real-world food service experience—they’re also contributing to a fundraiser that directly supports their class. Proceeds from concessions help the Junior Class fund prom and, eventually, their graduation activities.
So when you purchase dinner, a snack, or one of the students’ newest creations at concessions, you’re supporting much more than a concession stand.
You’re supporting hands-on education, real-world career skills, and our students.
Our students are excited to share what they’ve been creating and learning with our community, and we’re excited for you to see—and taste—what they come up with!
Thank you for supporting them this year. We’ll see you at concessions! 🍔🌮🍝🥪

Class of 2027 + Mrs. Sorenson take on the Minot State University College and Career Futurepalooza! We had a great day of meeting employers from different career clusters along with college admission representatives from ND, SD and MN!
Who Loves Oreos? Our Scientists Do!
Today, Mrs. Verano’s class explored the cell cycle, focusing on mitosis! To make learning fun and engaging, students used Oreos and sprinkles to model the stages of mitosis, from interphase to telophase. They had so much fun while learning how cells grow, divide, and create new cells!
High School Homecoming Dress up Days!!!
Congratulations to our 2026 Homecoming Court!
Today I had the privilege of observing Mr. Hellman’s 4th grade class as they took a virtual field trip to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. 🇺🇸 It was amazing to see our students engaged, curious, respectful, and eager to learn about such an important part of our history. Their thoughtful questions and reflections made me incredibly proud to be their assistant principal. ❤️💙
Our Varsity Volleyball team played in the Glenburn VB Tournament On Saturday and left with some hardware... 1ST PLACE IN THE GOLD BRACKET 🥇
Great job ladies!!!
Great job ladies!!!
Our JH Volleyball Blue team took 1st place in the silver bracket at the Our Redeemers 8th grade tournament today. Great job girls!!
Mrs. Verano’s class had fun with some STEM activities! From cup stacking to the egg drop challenge and balloon-powered cars, students had the chance to think creatively, solve problems, and work together. These activities helped them discover their strengths as students, teammates, and problem-solvers.
Mrs. Verano's, 7th graders have been learning about cells and their organelles! Students made microscope slides using onion cells and cheek cells to observe plant and animal cells.
To make learning more hands-on, they also created 2D cell models using homemade flour-and-salt dough! They were very creative and did a great job explaining the functions of each organelle.
Science Rocks!
🎉 What a great way to start the day! Our high school cheerleaders and football players greeted elementary students as they arrived at school this morning! 🏈📣
Let’s keep the school spirit going—come support our football team tonight at 7:00 PM at Tioga! 💙🏈
