Members of NK Bands got their first opportunity to perform in uniform on Thursday ahead of their return to the parade route. Students marched from the school to Hillcrest Assisted Living Facility to play for the residents. After performing, students took the time to meet and talk with the residents before lining up and marching back to the school. This is just one of many partnership opportunities for NK Bands and the community.
Don't miss your chance to see NK Bands on parade in Nashwauk today at 12:00pm and Keewatin today at 1:30pm!

What do you get when you mix corn starch, cocoa, water and some laughs? A fun way to celebrate International Mud Day! The gooey mess wasn’t loved by everyone but some could have played for hours! Students also made dirt cake with pudding, cool whip and crushed Oreos (with worms of course!🪱) Great way to celebrate the day😊 The storm today made some big mud puddles so you can celebrate too!
Another successful Community Education class with Luke Adam! He reported 2 wonderful days of adult kayaking on O'Brien Reservoir and Larue Pit! They saw beaver lodges, fish spawning beds, sunning turtles (check out that picture closely - amazing how many there are!!) They also found underwater highways, a baby loon, old underground mine shaft, 4 abandoned mine pits and much more! People attended from Mankato to California! Thank you Luke! We are in the process of planning more of these classes for adults and kids! Check out getlearning.org for more great Comm. Ed. classes.

Play into a bucket of water, they say. It will be fun, they say.
Brass players in marching band worked on air support today by playing their instruments into a bucket full of water. The water provided extra resistance that forced the muscles around their lungs to work extra hard. After playing into the bucket full of water, it was much easier to play with a big, full sound.
June 15th is National Nature Photography Day!📸🌿🌸🌲 Ms. Julia brought her Polaroid camera for students to use on a nature walk. We all enjoyed taking pictures of our beautiful outdoors! Hope you find time today to take some pics, even if they are only in your mind😊
