in Langdon and a boys'
basketball game in Pembina
against North Border, and

JH girls (only an eighth
grade game): 37-32
JV girls: 46-44; a girl got
fouled at the last minute and
made her two free throws to
win the game!
Varsity girls: 34-47

The elementary have been
doing a magazine selling
program where they can buy
or sell magazines for prizes.
About 40% of the proceeds go
to the school for educational
purposes. There are a few
incentives also that help the
kids want to sell magazines;
for example, the class that
sells the most magazines gets
a pizza party or ice cream.
On the 17th the boys' and
girls' basketball teams both
played games. The boys
played in Edmore against
Lakota and the girls played
in Edinburg against Park
River/FL. The boys all won,
except the B Squad, and the
Junior High played one game
won except the B Squad, and
the Junior High played only a
7th grade game.
The fourth through sixth
grade did a math-a-thon to
raise money for St. Jude's
Children Hospital. The kids
got to raise money or have
people sponsor them if they
wanted to and fill out a math
workbook packet. Their goal
was to raise 1000 dollars
total, and they ended up
raising about 1,500 dollars!
