🎯 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.

Congratulations to our students who were the winners of the Pirate Reading Challenge in the elementary library!
What an incredible Pirate Reading adventure our elementary students took on during the month of February. Students were challenged to explore nonfiction books and, along the way, discovered that nonfiction can be just as exciting and engaging as any storybook.
The challenge was a tremendous success, with nonfiction checkouts increasing by an impressive 746 books compared to this time last year. What an amazing accomplishment!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the challenge—we are so proud of your hard work, enthusiasm, and growing love of reading. Keep turning those pages!
