Kindergarten students cooperate in a myriad of ways to reach their shared learning goals!
Preschool Screening has been rescheduled for November 5th at 10:30 am.
During the month of October, kindergarten students learn about the team-building skills of cooperation and improvement. Hands-on applications are a must! Today, students were challenged to cooperate and improve their building designs using limited materials. Afterward, they had to work together and improve a recipe for pancake muffins. This is authentic, relevant learning in action!
Families the preschool screening has been rescheduled for a later date.

55+ DDP at the Floodwood School in the Library. Classes will be from 5pm-9pm. October 14, and November 15 & 17.
As we welcome new families and community members. We would like to share the history of the school. The Floodwood School has been in existence since 1893 when the first school, a log building, was constructed. This was the same year the village of Floodwood was organized. The sum of four hundred dollars was borrowed from the state to buy books and supplies. The district was not independent at the time, so the school was a County School. Eight children attended the first year. In 1911 the first building was built on the present site of the school. It was a six room, brick building. This was also the year that the school district became Independent School District No. 19. The children were transported to school with a team and wagon or sled. A man and team were paid twenty-eight dollars a month for hauling children twenty-four miles a day. The children that lived too far from town were boarded at homes in town. Their room and board were paid by the state. The first class to graduate from Floodwood, after completing four years of high school, was in 1926. There were five graduates.
October 2 is National Custodian's Day. A huge Thank You to our amazing custodians for all of their amazing work that they do.
