Mark your calendars - Ben Reifel will be having an evening of tubing at Great Bear. Sign up information coming soon. Can't wait to see everyone on the hill!
We have our winners for the door wars! Each grade had a specific theme and judges have selected the winners. We want to thank everyone who participated and put in handwork decorating our building for the holiday season.
Final staff meeting of the year was filled with laughter as Mrs. Vandrongelen and Mr. Hieronimus had staff create a snowman out of marshmallows using only a few select items. Staff also played Christmas Scattergories. We are so thankful for our staff and the lengths they go to engaging students every day. ❤️
Wish our Bison community a wonderful break. We will see you back Tuesday, January 3rd.

In honor of World Soil Day, 6th grade science students hosted guest speakers from the South Dakota Soil Health Coalition, who spoke about soil formation and conservation. Students got a kick out of seeing how much (and how quickly) good microbes and decomposers can dispose clothing items in healthy soil vs a soil going through degradation. What an engaging day for our students! Thank you to all the speakers who provided an
engaging lesson.
The Bison store is now open! See the attached flyer for all the details.
