A hearty congratulations to all of our competitors: John, Andrew, Alex, Presley Sue, Sami, and Savannah. We are so proud of all of you for making it even this far. Finally, a shout out to the following students who are going to state:

Savannah, 9th Grade: 2nd Place Humor
Sami, 10th Grade: 2nd Place Original Oratory

Reminder: Early Release This Friday (March 26, 2021) at 1:05 pm (Staff Professional Development Day)
Are you dreaming of warmer weather, springtime, and sunshine? So are we!
Planning a garden is really great way to pass the time when it's cold out. Who doesn't love to look at photos from a garden catalog and dream of how great everything will smell and taste when it's in your very own yard?
This year, Nuts + Bolts is hosting an online fundraiser with Flower Power Fundraising. All you have to do is dream about your garden and then order some things from the online catalog.Accepting orders until May 1, 2021 http://NUTSANDBOLTS.fpfundraising.com
It's as easy as that! All proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit MNCS. You can help us grow by planting some things that grow --- pretty great, right?
Thank you for supporting the students and staff at Minnesota New Country School!

ELEMENTARY FAMILIES-- Exciting news for our students!! The Intervention and Title I program is building a school library where students will be able to check out books to take home or read in their classrooms. We are looking for any NEW or GENTLY USED BOOKS to help build the library or used for reading incentives.
THANK YOU for supporting our learners and readers!
REMINDER: The March READER REWARD logs are due the first week of April to qualify for rewards. Please help support your students by reading 20-30 minutes a day.
