Our flat screen in the lunchroom/stage no longer works. Does anyone have a 46+ inch flatscreen you'd like to donate to NKHS? It can be old! Thank you.
Keewatin parents- a reminder that elementary students cannot have cell phones in class or at recess. Please consider keeping cell phones at home. Please help us keep our kids fully present for their learning.
"Distractions!" was the theme of Spartan Pride Time today. Students checked out their screen time and their most used app. Some students had over 1,000 notifications in a day, and some logged over 40 hours a week of phone use, with 23+ hours on Snapchat alone.
Keewatin is searching for parents to help cut cake and help to support the celebrations for our 5th grade DARE graduates and their families.
If you're a 6th or 4th grade parent, and can help for a half hour on April 12th at 1:30pm, please contact Ms. OR at 218-885-1280 x51150
