Mrs. Hovde's Career Exploration class attended a Career Fair this week in Huron! There were around 75 different booths for students to explore. There were colleges, tech schools, and businesses. Lots of the presenters had hands-on activities for students to experience. Lots of excitement for potential careers and opportunites!

The Middle School has taken advantage of the nice weather. They got out during their PLT (Personal Learning Time AKA Study Hall) and helped others! They cleaned up the yard at Willow Lake Community Daycare.

If you missed the meeting but are interested in the trip, please contact Mrs. Bratland!

If you are in need of cold weather gear--please reach out to ICAP in Clark. They have many sizes of coats, snow pants, gloves, and hats. If you are unable to make it to Clark and are in need of items, please call the school office and we will find a way to get the items to Willow Lake.

At the beginning of the school year, each student chose what their intention was with their cell phone. They had three options. 1.) Get a key and leave their cell phone in a lock box at the school. 2.) Leave their phone in their vehicle. 3.) Leave their phone at home.

With the cold temperatures, if you or your child would no longer like to leave their phone in their car, they will need to come and talk to Mrs. Mohr to get their key.

🚨 If your student has lost the key to their box--they should see Mrs. Mohr. I can change out the lock for $3.
