Nashwauk-Keewatin

There is a new elective called Spartan Outdoors for grades 7/8! The goal is exposure of outdoor activities to students, infuse literature, reading comprehension, and explore areas to be outside! We want students to fall in love with something they can do outside for many decades! Our first field trip was to Minnesota Discovery Center. Students hiked, kayaked, read maps, had a picnic, toured a mountain bike rental store, and made memories! See the pics!

Two U.S. Army recruiters visited the 11th and 12th graders during advisory and interested students were able to connect with them.
