Golden Pearl Award Winners at the Chisholm Elementary and Bluestreak Pride Winners at the Vaughan - Steffensrud
Staff and Students of the Week at the High School:
Ms. Caroline - Nominated by Kyler Sellars
Ms. Caroline always helps with work and always helps the teachers when they need it. She is always there to help. The other day, she helped me with my entire assignment, and I finished just before class ended. Thank you, Ms. Caroline!
Spanish Immersion Class - Nominated by Mrs. Williams
This week, I want to recognize the entire Spanish Immersion class! Each of you contributes to a fun, engaging, and collaborative learning environment. Your positive energy, eagerness to participate, and genuine desire to learn truly stand out. Responsibility, enthusiasm, and dynamism are what define you as a group. Starting my afternoons with all of you is not just a joy, it’s a privilege.
Jacob Chambers - Nominated by Mr. Rudolph
Jacob has been absolutely on top of his game this year! He consistently completes all of his assignments correctly and on time, never missing a due date. He goes above and beyond by checking in to make sure his work is done and done well.
In addition to his strong academic habits, Jacob is also a huge help in the classroom. Once a week during 7th hour, he assists with making copies, cleaning the room, organizing Chromebook chargers, and helping with other classroom tasks that keep everything running smoothly. His initiative and willingness to step up make a big difference.
On top of all that, Jacob and I even share some good laughs managing his (very questionable) fantasy football team together—though I’ll give him credit for keeping a good attitude about it!
Congratulations, Jacob! Keep up the awesome work.

Join the Cross Country Runners for a very special fundraiser event next Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at 7:00pm. We hope to see you there and help our cross country runners raise some funds.
Today, our students participated with the American Indian education programs in a rich cultural lesson about the traditional teachings offered by the native animals of Minnesota. This immersive experience was presented through an Ojibwe perspective, beautifully weaving together language and natural wisdom.
As students learned about the unique lessons and gifts each animal provides—such as the wolf's guidance on family or the bear's teachings on strength—they also learned the corresponding Ojibwe names. The session was made especially tangible and memorable by allowing students to handle real animal pelts. This hands-on connection fostered a deeper understanding and instilled a profound sense of respect for each creature.

DIgging with Mrs. Paradis
These are photos taken from an activity in Mrs. Paradis' 6th grade social studies. We were trying our hand at archeological digs using chocolate chip cookies, a toothpick and grids. This was a lesson on ancient peoples in Minnesota and how they delayed a road work project on the south side of Mille Lacs Lake in 1989 when artifacts were discovered by the road crew.
