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!

Mr. Brence was able to hand out some treats courtesy of McDonalds. Some garbage was left on our playground from the game the night before, but when Brence had time to pick up the garbage after his morning duties, he was surprised to find everything had been cleaned up. In order to thank the students he went to McDonalds to get them all treats, but they graciously decided to donate free Happy Meals to all of the students involved. Thank you McDonalds and great job Blue Jays.

Join us for a fun filled family night!!!!

Mrs. Verano’s Science class has been exploring the nature of sound, and today’s lesson came to life in an exciting way. The students had the opportunity to learn from guest speaker Mr. George Littlecreek, who shared his knowledge and passion for sound, along with his assistant, Vince Meduna. Through engaging demonstrations, they showed how sound works, including the differences between low and high pitch and how sound changes with different frequencies. Students were especially amazed during the interactive activities, where they moved around the room to experience how air affects sound. One highlight was observing how sprinkles vibrated as sound was produced, helping students clearly see sound waves in action. It was a fun and memorable learning experience that sparked curiosity and excitement in the classroom.
