Shoutout to all these wonderful musicians! You may have seen us practicing in the streets the last couple of weeks in preparation for Williston Band Day. It all paid off because these bandsters absolutely crushed it today! One of our bass drummers, Raegan Ostdahl, even got scouted and was asked if she was interested in partaking in a drumline camp next year. I couldn’t be any more proud of what this group has accomplished this year!
Onwards to our final music performance and awards this coming Thursday. Can’t wait to see you all there!

Stanley Schools are coming together to make a difference for children in foster care in our community and surrounding areas. In partnership with Mountrail-McKenzie Human Services Zone, we are collecting new toys, clothing, and essential items to help support youth who need it most. Every donation helps bring comfort, stability, and care to a child's life. Donations can be dropped off at the elementary or high school. Thank you for helping us spread kindness where it matters most!

Our Ornithology class had an unforgettable early morning adventure at the Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge! We left at 5:30 AM to make sure we were quietly settled into the blind—minimizing disturbance and maximizing our chance to witness one of nature’s most incredible displays.
Students observed a Sharp-tailed Grouse lek in full swing, watching males “roomba-ing” around the dance floor before bursting into energetic displays when a female arrived. (Fun fact: these springtime dances are part of a courtship ritual where males compete to attract mates!)
We were also entertained by a mischievous Common Raven who kept things interesting by flushing the lek—but the determined grouse always made their way back to continue the show!
Once the cold set in, we warmed up with a drive to Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge, where students added an impressive 35 bird species to our class checklist.
It was truly a fantastic day of learning, observation, and appreciation for North Dakota’s incredible wildlife. A big thank you to Seth Owens from Pheasants Forever and Lostwood biologist Marissa Haase for joining us and sharing their expertise!
Seth has recently filmed and released with Project Upland, "Dancing at Sunrise". If you're interested in learning more about the ancient mating dance please watch!
