We would like to thank Mrs. Hatzenbuhler and her family for bringing their horses to the high school today. The students were able to learn about roping and fed the horses plenty of treats! This afternoon students will play bingo for fun summer prizes. A reminder that doors open for graduation at 5 pm and it starts at 6 pm.

Big shoutout to Sophia!
Sophia K. helped break the Standing Rock junior high records in both the 4x100 and 4x200 relays! As part of our Solen/Standing Rock track co-op, she’s been putting in the work and making big things happen on the track.
We’re super proud of you, Sophia! Keep it up—this is just the beginning!
Ms. DeCouteau's Kindergarten class braved the rain to go to The Dakota Zoo for our End of the Year field trip! We had our ponchos and had so much fun! Few more days til we graduate kindergarten!
BUTTERFLIES! Mrs. Ferguson's classroom butterflies have emerged from their chrysalides. No. That is not blood in the net habitat, it is meconium . Meconium is the liquid waste left over after metamorphosis. We are very lucky to have over a dozen Painted Lady butterflies. However, the weather isn't cooperating for release. The butterflies can't be released in the rain or below 55 degrees! Summer needs to come!
3rd Grade had a blast at Tilt and Gateway to Science for their field trip last Friday! 😁
Buffalo Days 2025. Ms. Raven Heart's 2nd grade class got to participate and were hands on with the Buffalo. The students finished buffalo days making ledger.
1st Grade's Tatanka Days!
We observed the butchering and helped rub salt into the hide. We learned how to play Hand Games (and begged to play twice a day!) Mr. Maxon showed us how to safely process the buffalo using knives, grinders, scales, and vacuum sealers. To round it off, we learned the different uses of the buffalo, including leather ledger art. Overall, the experience of this year's Tatanka Days will be unforgettable!
4th Grade Night Lights have been learning how to peyote stitch with Czech beads, needle, and thread. Yesterday they were able to take their half completed projects home to finish over the summer!

Mr. Engel’s 4th grade class broke open some geodes on Thursday!
This week we held our Buffalo Days. Thank you to Wozu for assisting us with butchering and providing educational lessons to our students on butchering and processing. Thank you to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe for providing us with the buffalo. Thank you Standing Rock Game & Fish for assisting us with the hunt and kill.
