Ecumenical Baccalaureate Service for our 2021 seniors

To all the amazing families of the Floodwood High School, 

     The pastors and churches of Floodwood (St Louis Catholic Church-Father Pio, Hope Lutheran Church- Pastor John, New Life Community Church-pastor Dan, Floodwood Baptist Church- pastor Steve and Four Rivers Fellowship-Pastor Dave) would like to invite each of you to our Ecumenical Baccalaureate Service for our 2021 seniors. 

     Every year the churches come together and have a service to encourage and pray for our seniors as they are about to take possibly the biggest step in their lives.  They are stepping out of the comfort of their parents' homes and into a path of life in this world with numerous decisions and obstacles along their way.  Every year we rotate which church the service will be held at and this year the Baccalaureate Service will be at:

Four Rivers Fellowship

102 E 8th Ave, Floodwood, MN, 55736 

Wednesday May 26, 2021 at 7:00 pm. 

You are all invited to join us if your busy schedule allows you the time.

MAA Collaboration Logos.jpg

Minnesota Afterschool Advance (MAA) is here to help your family get a device to assist your student’s education! By using both the K-12 Education Tax Credit and scholarship dollars from Youthprise, we’re committed to getting even more Minnesota families a Chromebook.

How can MAA help?

If your household income is under $33,500 in 2020 and 2021 and you file taxes, MAA can use a tool called the K-12 Education Tax Credit plus scholarship dollars from Youthprise to get you a Chromebook for no additional cost, plus save you 75% or more on afterschool and summer activities like tutoring, music lessons, and driver’s education. Learn more about how MAA works by watching a short animated video.

We are limited to one device per household due to tax credit rules.

Please remind your student masks are still required at school.

The CDC cites the following reasons for continuing to wear masks in schools:

  • Students will not be fully vaccinated by the end of the 2020-21 school year. Youth under the age of 12 are not yet eligible for vaccination. Youth between the ages of 12 and 15 became eligible for vaccination on May 12, 2021. Because people are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after their second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, students in this age group will not be fully vaccinated before the end of current school year.

  • The time needed for schools to make systems and policy adjustments.  Systems and policy adjustments may be required for schools to change mask requirements for students and staff while continuing to ensure the safety of unvaccinated populations.
