Today we honored Mr. Fisher during a school wide celebration for being named Sioux County teacher of the year. Congratulations again, Mr. Fisher.
🦬✨ Buffalo Days 2026 was a HUGE success! ✨🦬
This past Monday, students from Cannon Ball Elementary School traveled to Wozu to help process our buffalo. Students gained hands-on experience with quartering, butchering, and processing meat — learning firsthand the importance of harvesting and preparing their own food. 🍖🔪
Experiences like this bring food sovereignty to life for our students and connect them to traditional knowledge, culture, and the understanding of where our food truly comes from. 🌎🦬
A HUGE thank you goes out to Davis Fool Bear, Ron LeBeau, and all of the amazing staff at Wozu for guiding and helping our students through the buffalo processing experience. 🙌
We also want to thank Jeff Kelly, William Thompson, and the entire Game & Fish Department for helping secure a buffalo and allowing our students the opportunity to harvest the animal. 🎯🦬
This day would not have been possible without all of the incredible people, organizations, and community members who came together to support our students. Your generosity, knowledge, and willingness to teach mean more than words can express. ❤️
Wozu has processed our meat and packaged it. We are making it available to our families in the community. Please stop by the Elementary school to pick up a roast, ground beef, or steaks which will be available until disbursed to as many families as possible.
Mitakuye Oyasin. 🤝
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Spring Annual Title I Meeting on Tuesday! We loved sharing the many great things happening for our students and discussing exciting plans for future growth and improvement.

Ms. Kloe's kindergarten class for the last few weeks has been watching some caterpillars turn into butterfly's. They finally hatched and we were able to release them.
We learned how they start as an egg, turn into a caterpillar, then turn into a chrysalis, and finally a beautiful butterfly. We also know and learned that when they first hatch they need to flap their wings to get the blood pumping. What a fun unit to learn about and watch it happen!!
Some action shots from last week's Timber Lake meet, as well as a JH team photo from their finale in Parshall on Monday.
Stay tuned for more photos live from the South Central Regional!
A huge shout out to our very own high school math teacher, Ian Fisher, for being nominated and officially recognized as the 2026 Sioux County Teacher of the Year! 🎉
This recognition reflects the passion, commitment, and impact he brings to our students every single day. From challenging students to think critically, building confidence in mathematics, and always pushing our learners and athletes to grow, Mr. Fisher continues to make a lasting difference at Solen Public School.
We are incredibly proud to have him represent Sioux County and our school community. Mr. Fisher will be honored at the North Dakota County Teachers of the Year recognition event on June 23 at the State Capitol in Bismarck.
Congratulations, Mr. Fisher—this honor is well deserved. Solen is proud of you! 🌟 #GoSioux #TeacherOfTheYear #SolenProud

Just a reminder of our family night event tomorrow. We will also be taking new enrollments for the 2026-27 school year. Use the link below to view our 26-27 school year. We are trying something new next year with scattered early dismissals on Fridays throughout the school year. The purpose of the early dismissals are to adequately prepare for reading and math instruction for our students while still having school on Fridays which allows for transportation to school as well as still having breakfast and lunch on those school days. If you have any questions on next year or on the enrollment process, please come to the family event tomorrow night!
With many activities taking place this week at Wozu for Buffalo Days, we want to celebrate culture in the schools!
Good afternoon,
Today at Solen, the fire alarms were triggered which caused an evacuation. Students were outside for approximately 30 minutes while it was determined that it was safe for students and staff to re-enter the building. This occured during the 5th grade transition so the 5th graders were also in the building.
I am very proud of our students and staff for their behavior during this time. Everyone did an excellent job.
There was not an actual fire nor was there any damage to the building or campus. Once everyone entered the building the school resumed normal activity.
Thank you ,
Superintendent Kramer

"Who said you can't play with your food?"
Mrs. Ferguson's 2nd grade got to have a little fun with their Monday snack! Mary Jean came to talk about healthy eating and made a fun snack with the kids. Celery boats! The kiddos had a blast and many tried some new foods!

Pre-K had a busy April! They got to be builders and built bird houses with Ms. Laurie. And we got to hatch baby chicks in our classroom. We were lucky enough that a few of them even hatched while we were there to watch up close!!!
Pre-K Graduation will be on Friday, May 15th at 1:00pm!
