School Notes and Oddities From Local Ledger 1807
School will be closed Monday and Tuesday October 26 and 27 for a teacher’s Institute in Emmetsburg. Next week starts Wednesday with three days of school. Miya Bessie Shatava’s second graders demonstrated at the Parent Teachers meeting on “How does the child express himself.” Honor Roll lists seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen with varied scores.
