General:

The University of Minnesota-Duluth is having their annual Bulldog Engineering Day on October 29. Engineering is an exciting career that combines technology with creativity using the basic tools of math and science. On this day, students will have the opportunity to learn more about engineering as a career, visit the engineering department and labs, tour the campus and ask questions of engineering students and staff. If you are interested in going, please see Mr. Jansen by September 30.

Tuesday, September 27th students and staff are invited to participate in a fund raiser for the Hoefs family. If you donate a dollar, you may wear a hat throughout the day. HOSA members will be in the commons area Tuesday morning to collect your money.

Each year high school students compete for more than $2.3 million in scholarships and incentives through the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ Voice of Democracy Program.
