Knowledge Bowl

Time change, full moon, Friday the 13th, and a COVID 19 pandemic... oh my! This past week a few of our students were able to be out and about doing exciting extracurricular or extension activities such as the choir participating in an honor choir opportunity at Gustavus Adolphus.  An FFA group went to compete at regions, one of the three knowledge bowl teams competed at regions, and some middle school band students participating in solo ensembles in Marshall.  The 6th grade completed their swimming lessons and the driver's education course finished up with classes!


The Knowledge Bowl team (Lauren Tatge, Abby Knobloch, Jax Wysong, Liam Ramon, and Jacob Sheppard) competed on 3/12/2020 in Marshall. They had a good experience, but will not be advancing to state. 


The H-BC Crops team (Austin Allen, Oliver Deelstra, Calvin Erickson, Easton Harnack, Carter Hartz, and Drew Leenderts) placed 6th at Region VI and will be advancing to state!
