Medina School Families:
Please watch for a yellow form coming home with the youngest child in your family today or tomorrow (also attached here in case it doesn't make it home).
This form provides the opportunity for families to sign up to participate in a Backpack Program which provides a small bag of shelf-stable food items over weekends that students can take home with them to help support them and their families when school lunches are not available. If this is something that would be helpful for your family, please complete the form and return to the school in a sealed envelope with Mrs. Foth written on the front by Nov. 20th. A start date for the program will be determined once we know how many students are participating and more information on that will be sent out on that prior to winter break.
This program is voluntary and participation will be kept as confidential as possible to respect the privacy of families/students participating. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Foth via phone 701-486-3121 or email april.foth@k12.nd.us.

Our school hosted a career fair for our students and surround schools. Our students also had some life skills sessions with people for our community and surrounding communities. We are thankful to our presenters for sharing their talents with us, so we can learn more life skills. Some of today's lessons were: cleaning, laundry tips, changing a tire, checking oil, reading a pay stub and a bill. Lots of great lessons today!
