Principal Olson reported the following: The System Accountability Report has been
distributed. We are working on getting
this information on the web site. I have
talked to the staff regarding a painting night for the building remodeling
project. The advisor of the National
Honor Society thought that this might be a good public service project for her
group. We had a nice week for
Homecoming. NWEA testing is now finished
in our building. Now that we have had
the test in force for a few years, I would like to use some of this data in our
upcoming System Accountability Reports.
We have had 4 fire drills so far this year. Mr. Runck has been to the Cities again and
brought back several computers and supplies that have been donated to the
school. We have also had the opportunity
to receive several risers for the band and choir from a school in
Lakeville. I am looking into the
possibility of bringing in a college level social studies class along with the
composition and math classes already offered from SMSU in
MCC and Wabasso. After the lyceum we will play games and have
pizza. Our head wrestling coach has the
idea of sponsoring a Dodge Ball tournament.
Attendance has been very good so far this year.
