Due to the playoff football game moving to Friday night at 5:00 in Wessington Springs we had to make some adjustments to our volleyball schedule.
We will still have the volleyball game but will only have a JV game and Varsity game with Bridgewater/Emery on Friday night in Forestburg. The volleyball match with the JV game will begin at 7:00 followed by the varsity game.
With the end of the volleyball season coming to a close, we could not find another date that worked with Bridgewater/Emery and ourselves.

The Blackhawks will battle a Sisseton team in Wessington Springs on Friday, October 23rd at 5:00PM. The game has been moved from Thursday due to an impending storm that will affect the Sisseton area.  The game will be broadcast on the radio, Q107.3 and livestreamed on Wessington Springs Liveticket.tv

The juniors are hosting a walking taco bar at the volleyball game on Friday. For $5, you get a walking taco and cookie.

The new pizza delivery date has been scheduled. They are scheduled to arrive at 3pm on Monday, October 26. Please make arrangements to pick up your pizza that day!

Yearbooks are still available in the office for a cost of $38

Elementary students will be celebrating Halloween a bit different this year. Students will not be bringing or wearing their costumes to school. Instead the elementary students may wear either pajamas or a Halloween shirt. The student will not parade the hallways as in the past due to social distancing. No visitors or parents will be attending the festivities in order to avoid additional outside contact. Preschool will celebrate on Thursday, October 29th and K-5 on October 30th.
