Cardinal Families,
Our Lady Cardinals have punched their ticket to the Regional Championship Game — congratulations, Cardinals!

In order to allow our students, families, and staff the opportunity to cheer on our team, Parent-Teacher Conferences this Thursday will conclude at 5:00 PM.
We will reschedule the two hours that were shortened and will announce the new date and time as soon as administration and faculty have had the opportunity to coordinate schedules.

Thank you for your flexibility and continued support of our students — both in the classroom and in competition. Thank you to all of our parents for understanding...we hope it will not be an inconvenience to reschedule for some of you but we wanted to allow others an opportunity to pack the stands and show our Cardinal pride if they so choose!

Congratulations again to our Lady Cardinals! Dr. Penny

Region 4 Tournament

The Dino Nuggie Diggers came home with second place in robot performance in Minot January 24th. There were 22 teams at the competition and were tied for first after the first and second rounds; the third run decided the tie. Their high score was the same as the first-place team. We are super proud of these young men and all they accomplished and learned in their short season. The Dino Nuggie Diggers included boy's from Underwood, Turtle Lake, Washburn and coach Danielle Levey.
