Our school band recently had the privilege of working with Dr. Kenneth Jimenez, a distinguished member of the music faculty at Valley City State University.
During this highly productive rehearsal, our students learned valuable techniques to improve their performance and received insightful guidance to further develop their musical skills. His visit significantly enriched the musical growth of our young musicians. In addition to leading the rehearsal, he generously assisted with tuning and repairing several instruments in our music room.
We are sincerely grateful for the time and expertise he shared with us, as well as the inspiration he brought to our band program.

Today, our McClusky-Goodrich family had the joy of celebrating School Resource Officer Day with Deputy Thompson, and our hearts are full. Students and staff packed the elementary lunchroom with smiles, high-fives, and a lot of hugs! Deputy Thompson's calm presence, sense of humor, and genuine connection with kids make a difference far beyond any single moment, and it was special to see our students say "thank you" back to him today. We are deeply grateful for Deputy Thompson's commitment to building relationships, showing up for our students, and being a trusted adult in our halls and classrooms. Thank you, Deputy Thompson!
On February 17th, North Dakota author RubyAnn Stiegelmeier will be visiting the elementary school. Letters have been sent home with the elementary students and their families.
