Parents, if you have not yet heard of a disturbing trend of challenges on TikTok, we would encourage you to "google" them online. Last month "Devious Licks" encouraged students to vandalize and/or steal school property. If you read the complete list of challenges, you will be quite appalled. Please discuss the inappropriateness and the dangers of these challenges with your children. These behaviors will not be tolerated at our school.

The FFA State Range Judging 2021 event was held in Reeder ND on 9-23-21. We had a student earn the highest score of the day winning not only the state champion baby bison trophy, but also the top hand traveling trophy! The team earned a gold award with a second place finish overall. Congratulations to all on a job well done.
