In summer 2024, North Dakota Department of Public Instruction will launch Summer EBT, a new grocery benefits program that provides families $120 for each eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out. Summer is a time when many children lose the free and reduced-price meals they get at school, and when households might need a little extra help putting meals on the table. Most families will get these benefits automatically, but some parents will need to apply. See below for more information.
The elementary girls volleyball teams will head over to Kensal on Saturday, April 20 for a day of tournament action.

Get those pennies ready Midkota Elementary! The Penny Wars are on! Beginning on Monday, April 8th each classroom will battle it out to be the grade with the most pennies (positive points). Students are of course allowed to sabotage other classes by adding silver coins or dollars to cancel out positive penny balances. All proceeds will go towards the Treyvon Watkins Benefit Fund. So check your couch cushions and peek under your floor mats Midkota! ;) This is WAR (of the penny variety), and it only lasts until April 30th.
In case you didn't get a chance to visit us during the month of March, please check out the amazing creativity of our teachers as they transformed our school into an epic road trip across our nation. I am continually blown away by all of the talent we have in this building. (Please note that the 4th grade door is missing because Mrs. Dockter wasn't quick enough to catch it before the redecorating began. Sorry!)
