🍎 PreK & Kindergarten had an a-peeling day of learning! 🍏
We went apple picking, played a few apple-themed games, and even took turns using the apple peeler. Some brave friends crunched on apple peels, and together we made delicious applesauce! 🥄✨
A fun (and healthy!) way to practice teamwork, patience, and taking turns—plus enjoy the taste of fall! 🍂❤️
🚜➡️🐎 From Riding Tractors to Riding Horses!
This week has been full of hands-on learning for Mr. Riddle’s Ag Mechanics class!
On Wednesday, students attended Big Iron in Fargo, where they mingled with local ag businesses and gained a deeper understanding of the agricultural industry. 🌾🔧
Then on Friday, the class switched gears and explored the world of horseback riding—learning the basics of riding and caring for horses. 🐴
A huge thank you to Genafay Pokzrywinski for providing this amazing opportunity and helping our students grow their agricultural knowledge and skills! 💛💙
A huge CONGRATULATIONS to senior Elizabeth Fedje on her 1000 career kills achievement at last night's volleyball match in Crystal! We are so proud of you, Elizabeth! 🖤🏐🤍

Today's Varsity game start time was pushed up to 330. see ya there!
The FCS room is buzzing this month!
Mr. Riddle and the 7th-grade class have been bringing in fresh garden vegetables and apples from Mr. Merrill's tree for the kids to practice their cooking, canning, and baking skills. Even Ms. Brigita brought us apples this morning! They'll be making apple crisp and apple pies, and they'll also learn how to make pie crusts with butter and lard to see which turns out best. We want to try canning homemade apple pie filling if the apples keep coming! To top it off, the kitchens are being cleaned to welcome the 1-6 grades next week for their after-school cooking class! They'll be learning all about kitchen and food safety and sanitation. They'll be using the brand-new child-safe kitchen sets that were purchased with donations. We hope to add ten more to the ten we were able to buy. Thank you to everyone for your support!

🐾🐴🐷 What a week for our Small Animal Care students!
Our 12th graders had an amazing time visiting with horses and pigs, learning firsthand about animal behavior and communication. Watching them observe body language, listen for vocal cues, and interact respectfully with the animals was a proud moment for all of us.
And back on campus — they really got their hands dirty digging up this year’s potato crop! 🥔💪 Nothing like a little hard work in the soil to round out a great week of learning.
So proud of these curious, compassionate, and hard-working students! 💚

Once our sale begins, I will share the QR code and our fundraising code here on the school page. There will also be posters put up around town with the information also.

Your Drayton Bombers are heading home with a 61–12 victory over the Center-Stanton Wildcats! 💥
Quarterback Max Foss Pokrzywinski led the offense with 4 touchdown passes, connecting twice with Brayden Klimpel, once with Chey Sehrt, and another with Trenten Keena.
Keena also powered the ground game, finding the endzone 3 times on rushing scores.
On defense, the Bombers flew around making plays all night. Mason Pollestad came up big with 2 key sacks in the game while Trypp Castillo grabbed an interception and returned it for a momentum-shifting play.
Next week, the Bombers return home to face the New Town Eagles.
🔥 Come out and support your Bombers! 🔥
Hello all!
The FCS (Home Ec) room is in need of pint and quart canning jars, lid sets, and canning tongs. I have one large hot water bath pan and will be bringing mine from home. If you have extra small cucumbers, beets, or watermelon, we can put those to good use!

There will not be sewing club this week due to a scheduling conflict. The next date will be posted soon. Sorry about the inconvenience.
We are excited to add a new selection to our elementary library this week! How to Catch a Wild Pizza is the latest release from our very own Nathan Aufenkamp, Class of 2012. The students have been interested to hear that the story was written and illustrated by someone who went to school in Drayton, and have been entertained by his fun, imaginative book. Pictured are the students in Mrs. Dahl's fourth grade class, who were the first lucky group to hear this story.
As part of their unit on prehistoric eras of North Dakota, the 8th grade North Dakota Studies class made a piece of history today by creating their own imprint fossils.
September is Great Plains Food Bank Truck Delivery! The truck will be here on Sept. 4th & we will begin intake at 3:45 at the front of the school as before. Items on the list are apples, peaches, potatoes, beef, and the dry goods box. We look forward to seeing everyone!
