Good afternoon Tiger Nation,
Road conditions are still inadequate for safe travel. We will not be having in-person school tomorrow, Wednesday Jan 10.
This day will be our 1st AMI day. Students will need to complete “Day 1” of their AMI packets and submit it to their teachers on the first day we return to classes. Further information can be found on the AMI tab of our website.
High School Basketball Contests tonight in Smithton have been canceled. A rescheduled date will be posted as soon as we can.
GR8 Families- Staff & Patrons,
With the forecast calling for more snow and winds in excess of 25-40 miles per hour tomorrow GR8 will NOT be in session tomorrow.( January 9, 2024 ).
GR8 has hours built in so NO AMI will need to be utilized.

Everyone be safe!
JH basketball tonight in Smithton is cancelled. HS basketball practices are also cancelled. Stay safe TigerNation!
On Saturday afternoon, Callie Knoernschild took the stage to perform with the WCMMEA All-District Honor Band.
Callie and Isabel both auditioned for district band in November. This is a tough process with many students playing and competing for only a handful of spots in each section.
“I am beyond proud of both girls for challenging themselves and following through on their auditions. Their hard work paid off,” Bates. “It was a beautiful concert put together by our district directors, students, and many UCM professors.”
From Mrs. Dove:
"Perler beads (or melty beads) are small, plastic beads. You arrange them on a special pegboard to form a design. Then, using an iron and parchment paper, you melt the beads together. Freshman, Hunter Nguyen, came into the library after school many days and created this gorgeous wolf. The amazing thing is Hunter had never worked with Perler beads before! This project definitely took patience and perseverance! Way to go Hunter!"

These visits help students plan for what courses they may want to take their junior and senior years."
