The CHS National Honor Society recently donated the funds raised from their used Cardinal clothing sale to the Meals on Wheels program. The NHS members are active with the program, delivering meals on week a month. Recognizing the importance and value of the program, they voted to provide some financial support in addition to their meal deliveries. Pictures is NHS president, Jacob Boeshans, presenting the check to Anne VandeHoven.

19 of our music students had the opportunity to attend the Concordia Christmas Concert on Friday evening! A beautiful way to celebrate the season!

We love our Caring Cardinals!

🎄 The High School Christmas Concert is TOMORROW! 🎶

Third Graders Design
“Room on the Broom” is more than just a story—it’s a springboard into the exciting world of STEM! In the elementary library, we love connecting stories to hands-on learning, and this one was the perfect fit.
In the tale, the broom breaks because it can’t hold all the characters’ weight. Third graders were challenged to solve that problem by engineering a stronger broom! Using only eight straws, one foot of tape, and a pair of scissors, students designed and built brooms that stood two inches off the ground and held as many candy pumpkins as possible.
The room buzzed with creativity and problem-solving as students tested, adjusted, and celebrated their designs. It was a magical mix of storytelling, teamwork, and engineering!

Congratulations to these 10 Cardinals who auditioned, were chosen and participated in the Northwest Festival at Minot State on Friday and Saturday! They joined students from all over the state to rehearse together and perform a fabulous concert in either band or choir! What a fun weekend watching them learn and grow as musicians!

Good luck to our volleyball players next week at regionals!!

We Broke Out!
The library was buzzing with excitement this week as second graders took on their very first BreakoutEDU challenge! Much like an escape room, BreakoutEDU turns learning into an adventure—where teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving are the keys to success.
Working in small groups, students raced against the clock to solve five tricky puzzles that revealed combinations to locks. They had just 45 minutes to crack a 3-digit lock, a 4-digit lock, a word lock, a directional lock, and even find a hidden key!
Laughter, curiosity, and a few happy shouts of “We got it!” filled the room as students collaborated to “break out.” It was a fun, brain-stretching experience—and they can’t wait for the next challenge!

Kindergarten STEM Fun: Monster Engineering Challenge
In the elementary library, we love to read—and tinker with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities inspired by our stories. This month’s Monster Challenge was the perfect way to introduce engineering to our students after reading I Need My Monster by Amanda Noll.
The challenge had just two rules:
1. The monster had to have three legs.
2. It had to stand at least five cubes high.
The rest of the design was entirely up to our creative young engineers! It was wonderful to see so many unique, wobbly, and imaginative monsters come to life.
A big thank-you to Mrs. Hoggarth’s Food and Independent Living students for making the play dough we used for building—your help made this activity a success!
