Dakota Prairie School District

📚 Freshmen English students completed an escape room activity inspired by The Cask of Amontillado. After diving into the dark and mysterious tale, they worked together to solve puzzles and unlock clues. Great teamwork and literary skills on display!

Congratulations to our Knights of the Month!

Tomorrow, our staff and students will get to celebrate Doris Forde Day with a 5k in Petersburg. The walk/run will start at 2:05 and is open to the public. See our previous post for route details. There isn't registration for the event, so show up if you would like to support an awesome person along with the school. We are going to try to keep the road in front of the school (4th street) clear of vehicles for students to congregate. Please consider parking away from the school. Contact clay.johnson@k12.nd.us with any questions.

🏆 Brandi Schock Competes at National Trap Shooting Competition 🏆 In July, Brandi Schock represented Dakota Prairie at the National Trap Shooting Competition, joining over 1,700 talented shooters from across the country! This prestigious event is open only to varsity-level competitors, requiring an impressive average of 18.99/25 clays or higher to qualify. Brandi spent the first two days practicing and participating in various games before stepping into the competition. In the first round, she shot an incredible 89/100 but just missed the cutoff for the finals. While she didn’t advance, we couldn’t be prouder of her performance! Great job, Brandi! 👏🔥 Keep aiming high!
