Josie's (mini) advisory adopted 6 Warba storm drains. They swept up and shoveled 30 pounds of sediment, leaves, and trash!
Haven's science class heads out to find critters for their Macro Invertebrates Lab.
Haven's class studied Isaac Newton's law of motion and built examples to demonstrate what they learned. Students had to brainstorm in teams and then assemble their own cradles.
Students went to the Forestry Expo at the Itasca Fairgrounds today. Many potential future forestry workers in the making!
This year we thought having a Recognition Board to give Shout Outs to a staff member who has been doing a fabulous job, or has helped you out-RECOGNIZE them! All you have to do is take a sticky note and jot it down and place it on the board outside the office.
Often times with PBIS, we do a decent job of recognizing students-but we also need to LIFT up our STAFF that make it all happen!
Please take a moment to read what folks NOTICE and have to say about one another. It would be great if you recognize someone each week!
As we get rolling…We are looking to Highlight ONE student each week as well at Town Hall on Mondays as well. (Thank you Donna!)
Thank you NLCS Board Members!
Students went out and helped with some community service at a new local disc golf course (located at Grace Bible Chapel 2452 Co Rd 76, Grand Rapids, MN 55744)
Needing a haircut but you also need to come out to Orientation Night? Free haircuts at NLCS! Come out for Orientation and a haircut!
(PSA We cannot guarantee the same creative quality as the meme but who knows you'll get a haircut!)
Reminder to all students and family that this Thursday August 24th from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm is Orientation Night. All new students must attend with parents. Contact the school if you have any questions or require further information. New students remember to bring your blue folder with all forms completed.
Day 6: Lincoln Park Zoo, Angry Octopus & Costume shop.
Last full day spent visiting Chicago’s free zoo. Late lunch at the Angry Octopus. And a visit to a local costume shop. Why? Because Karen and her murder mystery actors love looking and preparing ahead for the next murder mystery play!
Day 7: Return home & ridiculous airport prices
Day 5: Cultural Center, Navy Pier, Deep Dish Pizza, River-walk and Ghost & Gangsters
What do you do on a Sunday morning in Chicago? Experience some culture & art! Afterwards we toured the Navy Pier, rode the Ferris Wheel & enjoyed Lake Michigan. What else do you do when in Chicago? Must have some deep-dish pizza! Followed by a nice leisurely walk along the Chicago River-walk path. And later another walking tour featuring Ghosts & Gangsters - we visited various sites where tragedy struck, and many lives were lost that not many people know about. And famous gangsters of course!
Day 4: Museum of Science & Industry & Da Book Joint!
Spent most of the day at the Museum of Science & Industry: saw planes, trains and a captured German U-Boat. Even found early example of photo-editing in the 1945s. Had lunch near Hyde Park. Two students were prepared to share some poetry at an open mic opportunity, but we found out that the special event speaker rescheduled. The weather wasn’t the best so we found some areas to do a little shopping.
Day 3:
Stopped in Chinatown to check out the Chinese American Museum where we learned about Chinese culture and early immigrants in the Chicago area. Visited a few shops and had Dim Sum for lunch – some students had never experienced this type of meal – a variety of small dishes of dumplings, meats, rice & noodles. We walked off the meal with a tour of the Willis Tower and Skydeck.
Day 2: Chicago
Shedd Aquarium, Buckingham Fountain/Plaza, Art Institute of Chicago, Water Tower Place, Murder Mystery Walking Tour.
We saw dolphins, belugas, sea lion, penguins & a yellow submarine, ancient & modern art, found our Lego counterparts, solved a murder and learned a lot about Chicago’s early & shady history.
6 students & 2 staff spent several days in the Chicago area taking in the city, life and culture different to what they're used to in rural Minnesota. We took along our "flat people" Vern & Cindy Schroeder (students pick staff that cannot come with us so are made into flat people that we can take them with us!) We took a riverboat tour and wander around to get acquainted with the area.
(One 1st time flyer, hotel, Millennium Park, the Bean – was closed for renovations, Chicago River, unique architecture, Buckingham Fountain, the Bean (better pic).
