Big shout out to Susan Uhren who works ALL year on providing our students with the annual Christmas Store. The Christmas store is for all of our Elementary students to shop so they can give presents to their parents, siblings and grandparents! The best thing about the store is that the students do not spend any money on the presents because they are donations from Susan, staff and some businesses! Below are some pictures of all the presents going home to families because of her generosity.

Congratulations to Kale Rick for winning the heavyweight division at the Dan Unruh Invitational in Wahpeton on Saturday.
