It's time for Kindergarten Round-Up for the 2025-2026 school year!



Spartan Angling made a big splash today on the Rainy River for their big spring outing. All of the participants had never caught a sturgeon and I looked to a trusted guide Cody Christensen of Full Throttle Guiding to put us on the mark. https://www.rainylakefishguiding.com There were screams, sore arms, tense netting moments, and flat out fun! Fish boated lengths in the 40’s, 50’s and an epic 68.5 inch mark! Every kid boated at least 2 fish shattering personal bests for longest fish ever caught and first sturgeon catches. Epic day, kids won’t forget! Great day to be a Spartan! Did you sign up for Spartan Angling next year?

Attached are recent photos from our April 23 session with Sgt. Joe Martire and Liz Sundeen from the Minnesota Department of Corrections.

4th graders in Mrs. Johnson's class played a competitive game of Math Jeopardy! The game included concept review and concept challenges. Students had to work together in teams to earn as many points as they could before reaching the Final Jeopardy question. They then had to choose what they were going to "wager" in true Jeopardy fashion.
