Nashwauk-Keewatin

Dan Owens, Keewatin Elementary Physical Education teacher, is receiving the All Kids Bike program, from Safe Routes to School coordinator, Anne Campbell. Keewatin Elementary is the 2nd school north of the metro to have this program. All Kids Bike is on a mission to teach every child in America how to ride a bike in kindergarten PE class. Bike riding is a key developmental milestone for children, and they love having the bikes during class time! SRTS is happy to deliver this great program to Keewatin Elementary School. Thanks to Louie for delivering the trailer!

After reading "To Build a Fire" by Jack London, 10th grade students plunged their arms into a cooler of ice water to see what it might feel like to break through the ice. Willow, Maggie, and Grace proved their mettle by submerging their arms for over nine minutes--until saved by the bell!

There is a new elective called Spartan Outdoors for grades 7/8! The goal is exposure of outdoor activities to students, infuse literature, reading comprehension, and explore areas to be outside! We want students to fall in love with something they can do outside for many decades! Our first field trip was to Minnesota Discovery Center. Students hiked, kayaked, read maps, had a picnic, toured a mountain bike rental store, and made memories! See the pics!

Hello NK families! Here are the college and career activities that some students have been able to attend this September. This calendar also includes college and career visitors. MN North College hosted an education fair with at least 20 booths of Minnesota technical, state, and university colleges. Some Wisconsin colleges were also present. Two U.S. Army recruiters visited the 11th and 12th graders during advisory and interested students were able to connect with them. Next Monday, an enrollment specialist will visit the school at 10:00. A link for local scholarships is attached to the end of this post. October also has multiple events planned that you can be on the look out for! https://www.isd319.org/page/scholarships What a fun way to begin the school year! Mrs. Anderson
