Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Glow Dance. It was a great event enjoyed by all. Our goal is to offer more fun events to our students and families. A huge thank you to the parent volunteers, teachers, and staff for making it possible!

It's time for the Breckenridge Elementary School Read-a-thon!

Mrs. Northrup's 7th grade Mini Studies class participated in the Paper Tower Building Challenge. Students were allowed to use 30 pieces of plain computer paper and one roll of cellophane tape. Once completed, the tower had to support a 15 ounce can of tomato sauce for at least one minute. The winners are Carter Suhr and JJ Czarnecki with a tower 143 cm tall made from 21 pieces of paper and Maizy Matthews and Bentley Mclaren with a tower of 115 cm tall made from 24 pieces of paper. All winners will receive pizza. Congrats future engineers!

Construction work has slowed down while school is busy and in session, but we do have some upcoming work planned ahead.

Over Spring Break, we have several projects that need the finishing touches done. We have trim work in the MS/HS in classrooms and the locker rooms. We have our elementary punch list items to be addressed that include some elementary lockers, doors, and touch ups to items like paint.

Looking towards summer, we held a bid opening on February 17th to look at some upcoming summer projects. These projects include the addition of air conditioning in the MS/HS and elementary buildings as well as refinishing the elementary floor and replacing the HS gym floor. In addition, we will look to address some site updates such as our Transportation/Maintenance area parking lot, parking lots in both buildings, and our service drive. We also may be looking to complete some additional interior work such as flooring, paint, and doors.

More information to come as work is approved.
