Team bonding, problem solving, creativity, some friendly banter, and a little holiday fun was on today's early-out agenda. Staff in both the elementary and high school worked to create a pristine gingerbread house. It was a great time spent conversing and forgetting about end of semester stresses. Now for a little friendly competition. Vote for your favorite!

The 4th graders have been learning a lot about medieval Europe. They have learned what life was like and what jobs were available in the Middle Ages. They even decided to build a castle in the back of their classroom! 🏰
Today was AWESOME! The Anamoose Elementary students were visited by Kevin Lovegreen, author of the Lucky Luke book series. Kevin kicked off the day by greeting everyone in the gym, discussing all the steps an author has to go through to publish a book, and quizzing students on different animal calls. After the school wide assembly, he spent time in each classroom, working with students on their writing skills. Kevin lives in Minnesota and writes books based on his childhood hunting and fishing experiences. We were excited to have the opportunity for the students to participate in this unique experience.📚🦌🎣🫎

New freer throw rules for upcoming season.
How long would the list of things you have to be thankful for be? The students, staff and teachers from both Anamoose and Drake all wrote down three things they were grateful for and together we created this giant chain of gratitude! The grades in the elementary were to guess how long the chain would be. The total length was 112 ft. 2nd and 6th grade came in closest with their guesses and won a treat for their class!! The chain will be displayed in the Drake city park under the sheltered picnic area.
The 7th graders traveled to the elementary school to collect items for their Food Pantry Drive. The students did a fabulous job collecting items. After weighing everything, the 1st graders came out on top with 101.5 lbs. Overall, the elementary collected 227 lbs of food!!
The Kindergarten class made a Thankful Tree and asked everyone in the elementary to add their own "thankful leaves." It's starting to fill up! This was a great opportunity for all of us to see how much there is to be grateful for.🍂🤎

Celebration of Music was held today at MSU campus. Students from around the area spent the day practicing and preparing for the concert that was held this evening at Ann Nicole Nelson Hall. It is always amazing to watch their work come together, and their performance was wonderful and heartwarming. We had seven students perform tonight and as always, we are so proud of each of them. I am always mesmerized by their ability to learn these pieces so quickly and perform them so effortlessly. Wonderful job, everyone! 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Needing something to do this Friday? Or maybe you still haven't broken down and bought that turkey yet. Either way come on out, try your luck, and maybe win a turkey! If not, there will at least be ice cream. ☺️
