Celebrate Our Reader Leaders!
A big shoutout to these students who completed the A–Z Author Reading Challenge in the library during Reading Month this March! Students were challenged to read a book by an author whose last name begins with each letter of the alphabet—and these three rose to the occasion, finishing all 26 letters in just 31 days.
Yes, there really are authors for every letter—even Q and Z! (For X, students were given a free choice.) Their dedication, perseverance, and enthusiasm for reading truly set them apart. Congratulations, we are so proud of you and your love of books!

🎯 Congratulations to our 2026 All State Archery Qualifiers!! 🎯
Below is the definition of what North Dakota All State is about:
The North Dakota Youth Archery Advisory Committee created a new designation starting in 2016/17 to recognize student archers
who had excelled throughout the regional archery tournament season.
To qualify for this honor, student archers must participate in a North Dakota NASP regulated regional tournament and achieve
the following scores:
Elementary (Grades 4-5) – 250 points or higher
Middle School (Grades 6-8) – 275 points or higher
High School (Grades 9-12) – 280 points or higher
- The top twelve student archer scores (regardless of gender) in each division will receive the designation as a member
of the North Dakota All State Archery Team.
- If more than 12 archers qualify there will be a round of 5 arrows at 15 meters for practice, followed by 5 arrows for
score. Should a tie occur there will be a shoot-off at the state tournament; each archer shoots 1 arrow, closest to center wins. Archer must participate in the state tournament to be able to qualify for the shoot out.
