Good afternoon Midkota. We have been watching the weather closely, and we just can't in good conscience proceed with our Elementary Christmas Concert tonight. While we were hoping to see all of you this evening and are so sorry that this may inconvenience some of you, we would rather err on the side of caution. Our concert will instead by Monday, December 11, 2023 at 1:30 PM in the afternoon. We hope to still see you there, but we will plan to stream in on our Facebook page for those of you who won't be able to attend. Stay safe and have a good weekend Midkota!

Midkota Apparel orders from Orriginals should be delivered to both schools tomorrow. If you ordered presents that you do not wish your student(s) to know about, please call the school, so we know to hold your items for you. If you missed the apparel order this time around, but are interested in purchasing, please let us know. We would be happy to open up on online store again. :)
