Day 2 at Wolf Ridge the 8th graders had another beautiful day. We learned about climate, got to rock climb, and serve on kitchen patrol. In the evening one group got the chance to face their fears with the ropes course and the other group took their turn learning about erosion with the escape room. We are excited for the final day and a quiet drive home on Friday.

Day 4 on Close Up is perhaps the most important (and busiest day). We started the day meeting with a CHS alum who talked with the students about her path from Cavalier to the Capitol Region. Then it was off to meet with Representative Julie Fedorchak. After the meeting her office provided the students with a tour of the Capitol building including getting to spend time watching the House of Representatives is action. The students also had Tim to Explore the Botanical Gardens. Then it was off to meet with Senators Hoeven and Cramer. After the at meeting we were off to the Library of Congress. Finally, we ended the day at theater taking in an amazing production of Beauty and the Beast. Incredible day of learning and fun, even if we wiped out at the end.

Day 1 at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center for the eighth graders has been a great day! They arrived at 12:15 and got right to learning. One group spent the day orienteering and geocaching, climbing the ropes course, and going down the zip line. The other group did team challenges, learned about the history of the North Shore, and completed an escape room while learning about erosion. Tomorrow will be another fun and full day!

Day 3 on Close up started at the Marine Corps Monument commemorating the Battle of Iwo Jima. Then the students spent the day considering service and sacrifice as they visited the Lincoln, Korean War, and WWII monuments. They also had time to check out some of the museums of the Smithsonian Institution. They ended the day working with their peers in a mock Congress debating the solution that they had developed to address various real word policy issues. Another great day of learning in the Nation's Capital.

17 middle and high school HOSA students spent the last two days at the HOSA State Leadership Conference in Grand Forks.
Students competed in a variety of events while also exploring health care careers through hands-on experiences. They practiced suturing, listened to heart and lung sounds, palpated pulses on simulators, used a simulated ultrasound machine, and created realistic fake wounds (called moulage) used in medical training. They also attended workshops on nutrition, nursing careers, and forensics, and more! They spoke with professionals in various health care fields, and explored many pathways to health careers offered by colleges and universities across North Dakota.
We are excited to recognize the following accomplishments: ⭐ Middle School Highlights • Foundations of Medical Terminology – Clara Olafson (2nd) and Brystol Homstad (3rd) • Health Education – Clara Olafson, Mia Seng, and Ellie Peterson - 1st place with their Hands-Only CPR & AED project • Health Career Display – Vaya Morrison (2nd) • Life-Threatening Situations – Lincoln Thompson (1st) and Halle Olafson (2nd)

Day 2 on Close Up. The seniors had a busy day yesterday. They started on Capitol Hill discussing Opposition vs. Compromise and had the opportunity to witness a couple of protests march through. Then the students visited some of the major monuments on the Mall like the MLK, the Jefferson, and the FDR. Meanwhile, the teachers spent the day studying the Civil War and learning at the Museum of the U.S. Army. The students ended the day discussing big issues such as college affordability, homelessness, and gun violence with their peers from around the country trying to develop policy solutions that focus on compromise rather than entrenchment. Amazing day of learning and relationships. Stay tuned...

Day 1 of the class of 2026’s Close Up trip to Washington, D.C. After a smooth travel day on Saturday, the students started the day at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, contemplating the horrific actions of the Nazis during WWII. Then it was off to the National Archives, where the kids took advantage of the local food truck scene for lunch on the steps of the Archives on a beautiful spring day. Then it was inside to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It is pretty amazing to think that last week the seniors read these documents during the civics assembly, and today they viewed the original documents that created our great nation. The final stop of the day was at the National Air and Space Museum to learn about aviation history. Stay tuned for updates, as the students are now in the Close Up program and have started working on the tough issues of the day with their peers from around the country.

Recently our sophomore class had an amazing opportunity to attend Scrubs Camp at Pembina County Memorial Hospital and explore a wide variety of health care careers! 🩺
Along with other 10th grade students from across the county, they participated in hands-on sessions with professionals in areas such as nursing, mid-level providers, flight nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, public health, ambulance services, lab, dietary, pharmacy, and more.
Students were able to try real skills like starting IVs, suturing a wound, inserting a breathing tube with a video-guided camera on a manikin, and even testing their own blood type.
Thank you to the staff at Pembina County Memorial Hospital and all the professionals who shared their time and expertise with our students!
