Did you know building literacy skills in Spanish helps build a foundation for literacy in English? Reading with your child in their native language is a tremendous benefit to your child. We have many books available in Spanish in our school library. Please see Mrs. Leonnig or Mrs. Scott if you'd like your child to bring home books in Spanish. ¿Sabías que desarrollar habilidades de alfabetización en español ayuda a sentar las bases para la alfabetización en inglés? Leer con su hijo en su idioma nativo es un gran beneficio para su hijo. Tenemos muchos libros disponibles en español en la biblioteca de nuestra escuela. Por favor consulte con la Sra. Leonnig o la Sra. Scott si desea que su hijo traiga libros a casa en español.

We are so excited for this weekend's Trunk or Treat. Thanks to everyone who signed up to bring a Trunk and thank you to all who donated candy and supplies. If you are signed up for a Trunk, you can arrive any time between 2-4 to set up. We will have all the vehicles back in along the sidewalk in front of the old high school. Games will be on the grass, food served next to the gym doors and the fire pit near the basketball court. Larger vehicles can pull along the gravel in front of the Ag building. Let's have our Trunks ready by 4pm as that is when all the ghosts and ghouls will begin haunting. We will close promptly at 6pm to allow families to tear down and clean up. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 spookiest trunks. Thank you Trunkers ! If you're a Treater, the festivities will run from 4-6. Wear your Halloween costumes and come have some fun ! See you Saturday ! North Powder PTCO

Badger community, fans, parents, and athletes. Attached you will see the 2023-24 middle school basketball schedule. This has changed to where our boys and girls will be traveling together. The boys have had the same schedule the past three years as the schedule being shared. The first practice day will be 11/6 which is 2 weeks later than usual. The girls are aligned with this as well. There will not be any practices during Thanksgiving break or Christmas break, as well as no games during this time period. In the past, our B & C girls’ teams have ended in the middle of February. This year they will be ending 1-2 weeks earlier. The practices are similar to the past with middle school boys and girls having 42 practices and 15 contests. This aligns with middle school boy's football, girl's basketball, and track from past seasons. We are trying something new this year for a variety of reasons, and one of the most important ones is to align our boy’s and girl’s teams for school spirit, as well as saving on travel expenses. Our goal is to give our athletes a better overall experience. We know with any change, there are kinks, obstacles, positives, and negatives. We will continue to evaluate as we go through this transition. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Dunten. Go Badgers!
