Nashwauk-Keewatin

Dear Families, We are excited to announce a special photography fundraiser that will not only help capture beautiful moments but also support the Spartan Booster Club. Whether you're looking to create a lasting memory or need a professional photo, this is the perfect opportunity to give back while getting something special in return. Here’s how it works: 1. Book a Session: Schedule a professional photo for your family or individual. Contact Ms. Riipinen at briipinen@isd319.org 2. Support the Cause: Proceeds go to the Spartan Booster Club, which donates thousands of dollars a year to our school activities, programs, and sports. Each spot is $30. Checks can be written to Spartan Booster Club. 3. Enjoy a Stunning Photo: Receive one retouched photo delivered digitally by the photographer. We hope you’ll join us in making this fundraiser a success. Thank you for your continued support!

Veterans Day is almost here! We welcome the public on Monday, November 11th to honor our United States Veterans.
