The 6th grade wrote essays on patriotism and then were able to enter the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Patriot's Pen contest.
The contest encourages students in grades 6-8 to examine America’s history, along with their own experiences in modern American society, by drafting a 300- to 400-word essay, expressing their views based on a patriotic theme. This year's theme was
“How Are You Showing Patriotism and Support for Our Country?".
Commander Paradis, from the VFW Post 1757 in Cook, MN, came to Chisholm Elementary and awarded the winners of this year's winners.

Come support the CHS drama department this weekend. They are performing Ride the Cyclone {High School Edition} written by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell. The performance days are Friday, November 14th at 7:00 pm, Saturday, November 15th at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm, and Sunday, November 16th at 2:00 pm. The ticket prices are $12 for adults and $7 for students and seniors.
Ride the Cyclone is a darkly comic and wildly imaginative musical that follows six teenagers from a small Canadian town who die tragically in a roller coaster accident. Stuck in a surreal limbo, the teens are given one last chance to sing their stories and compete for the chance to return to life. Blending biting humor, heartfelt emotion, and an eclectic mix of musical styles, Ride the Cyclone is both a quirky celebration of individuality and a poignant meditation on mortality, identity, and what it means to truly live.
Twister in Spanish? Off course! This is a regular day.
Every class is a new adventure in a new language.

Thank you to VEMA and Turner & Crawford the Chisholm teachers joined an engaging workshop that reflected on their own cultural experiences while gaining insight into diverse backgrounds. They learned practical ways to create more inclusive and supportive engagements.

Congratulations to the Hibbing-Chisholm Bowling Team on their season! A big Congratulations to our very own student Max DuChene on his amazing season and he is headed too the Boys Singles State Championship in December! Congratulations MAX!
Our high school season has come to an end. We didn't win any matches this season, but we quadrupled the games won from last year. With having the youngest team in the district, I am very excited for next year. The bowlers improved every week, and I think they should make the state tournament next year. They only missed it by 4 spots this year. That being said Max did amazing this year. He made the All Honors team this year as well as making the 1st team for the All-Conference tournament which he will bowl in on November 29th at AMF South town Lanes. Also, which was a nice surprise to us he qualified for the boy's single state championship to be bowled on December 13 at the Mermaid in Mounds View. I attached some more photos for you for the yearbook.
