Today our elementary school kicked off I Love to Read Month with an assembly in the gym. Students got hyped up to learn about the month's planned activities. There was an appearance by Matilda (Ms. Pohlmann) and our teachers did a scooter race. - Mr. Schmidt
Our 5th grade students graduated from D.A.R.E. today. Great job, students! A huge thank you to Officer Gizinski for all his work! -Mr. Schmidt
Elementary Prom sponsored by the High School Close Up group. See flyer for details.
OPD Officer Gizinski not only is a great DARE instructor for our 5th graders, but he also randomly participates in classes. Today he showed off his broomball skills downtown Osakis during a jr. high gym class.
Students in Mrs. Haakinson's 10th grade Microsoft Applications class wrote Business Letters to a brand or person they admire. We received our first reply with some merch!
No concessions will be available for the girl's and boy's basketball games at the Target Center today. If you plan on attending, you can bring in your own food and beverages. No weapons or alcohol permitted.

Congratulations, Joslyn!
FAFSA Update:
If you are planning to come to either of the Wednesday night FAFSA help nights (January 17th and 24th from 6pm-8pm), I recommend that both student and parent create their FSA IDs. This will allow time for your information to be verified prior to completing the FAFSA application.
Parents may already have created one for other children attending college or if they have recently attended college themselves.
To create the FSA ID, go to: https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch
Congratulations, Emma!
FAFSA Information:
Seniors planning to attend college should be preparing to complete the FAFSA. This free application will provide possible grant money, work study, and student loan opportunities.
This is also going to be used as the application for the Northstar Promise program.
