SkateTime is Back during physical education class and will start tomorrow, April 6th. Thanks to a generous donation from the McGregor Fire Department, this opportunity will be available to the students at NO COST. This year helmets are NOT required to participate, but students may bring their own in if they wish. If a student wants to use a helmet, but does not own one, the physical education department has helmets available to use. Any questions, contact Josh Wahlin through email at jrwahlin@isd4.org
What exciting things are happening in kindergarten? They had a pajama day before our spring break and also learned about catapults. They especially had fun taking turns at launching marshmallows during class with the catapults. I don't remember getting to do fun things like this when I was in kindergarten.
Have a great break kindergartners!
The 1st graders in Ms. Pohl's room had pajama day. They also made these cute bunny bags and were very excited to share them with me. Great Job 1st graders!

Congratulations to the boys basketball team on their victory over Cromwell in the 1st round of playoffs. Super job!
Good Morning,
I just want to give everyone a heads up for next week. It looks like both our boys and girls basketball teams will be on the road for their first round play-off games on Monday, March 15th. Game time is at 7:00pm. The protocols that are going to be used are set by the Section. They finance all the tournament games and set ticket prices, etc. The number of tickets that we will be allowed will depend on the size of the venue. The final seeding will take place some time on Saturday, so this will be a quick turnaround time. The tickets will have to be purchased at our high school office on Monday. There will be no walk up sales. The price for a ticket is $8 for adults and also for students.
I will send out an email to both boys and girls parents on Saturday once I find out where we are playing and how many tickets that we will be allowed. So, tickets will have to be purchased in the HS office during the day on Monday. The ticket will have to have a name and a phone number on it for possible contact tracing.
I will also give the live streaming information as soon as I have it as well.
Let me know if you have any questions, but I think that I included everything that I can at this point.
Thanks,
Bob Staska

The leprechauns are on a recruiting mission. Looks like they have talked the kindergarteners into dressing like them. What a wonderful group the kindergarteners are.
