Congratulations to Serafina Beehler for being selected to play in the 2024 Junior High All-State Band. In March, she will travel to Mandan to work with guest conductor Erin Cole Steele and the top junior high band students within the state.

Our 2nd graders became inventors and practiced their perseverance strategies while working with partners! They were tasked with creating an invention that could solve a problem in our world or help people and animals. After sketching their creation, they added labels and gave the invention a name - lots of robots, robotic arms and self-driving vehicles!

Senior, Abby Wing is conducting a drive for Bravery Backpacks! Abby is a member of the Honor Society and has chosen this to fulfill her community service project requirement. The Bravery Backpack project was chosen by her because she feels as though she can help not only the brave little ones in Stanley, but also the children all over North Dakota who are escaping bad situations. When these kids are taken abruptly out of their homes and bad situations they don't typically have time to grab any personal items and these backpacks are given to these kids to provide a few personal items to help them in their transitions and give them some comfort. She is hoping that through this project, with the help of the community, she can make an impact in many kids' lives, especially when they need hope and love the most.
You can drop off any items on the list that are used to pack one of these bags for these courageous kids from now or until January 19th. You can even bring a filled pack if you wish. The donation drop off locations are in the office at the Stanley High School or Elementary School. Please see a list of needed items below:
