Drayton Public School 19

We survived Day 3 of our National FFA Convention trip! 🌽🚜💙

It’s been an adventure so far! On Monday, we made a splash at the Wisconsin Dells water park. Tuesday took us to Indiana, where we toured a robotic dairy farm and saw some amazing technology in action.

Today (Wednesday) marked our first official day at convention! Students learned about a wide variety of agricultural commodities, met our inspiring National FFA Officers, and even got to visit the famous Indy 500 track — complete with kissing the bricks! 🧱🏁

What an unforgettable start to our trip — can’t wait to see what the rest of the week holds! 💪🌾

🎃 Mrs. Schumacher's Kindergarteners have some precious ideas about what she should be for Halloween! 👻 Enjoy this annual treat from Kindergarten!

The Foods I & II Class and the ASP Cooking Class are looking for donations of apples to use in their cooking projects. The kids will be cooking, baking, and canning the apples. The goal is to make and sell canned apple pie filling to raise money for a portable dishwasher and an installation/adaptor kit to help with the mountain of dishes some days produce. Thank you from Mrs. Quimby and the FCS room.

🍎 CRUNCH OFF SUCCESS! 🍎 Today our entire Drayton School—students, staff, and special guest—joined together for the Mountain Plains Crunch Off and National Apple Day to celebrate healthy eating and local agriculture! With a big CRUNCH, everyone bit into their apples at the same time! 🍏 A special thank you to our guest speaker, tree expert and Bomber Legend, Bob Merrill, and to our school nurse for sharing about the importance of eating fresh, healthy foods. A big Bomber thanks to Robbie & Karmin Corrick for the donation of their home-grown apples! In celebration of Farm to School Month, states throughout the Mountain Plains Region (CO, MT, MO, KS, NE, ND, SD) are competing to see which state can get the most “crunches” into locally grown produce. We’re proud to represent North Dakota and show our Bomber pride in supporting farm-to-school connections and healthy habits! 💪 #MountainPlainsCrunch #FarmToSchool #F2SNorthDakota #NationalAppleDay #OneSchoolOneTeam #BomberPride

🌿✨ What a beautiful time of year to take learning outside the classroom! We are grateful to live so close to the beautiful Red River of the North!☀️ Last week, Mrs. Riddle's 3rd graders, Mrs. Dahl's 4th graders, and Mrs. Sugden's 6th graders along with Dean of Students, Mrs. Jenson, enjoyed peaceful nature walks — a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and practice a little mindfulness in the fresh air. 🍃💭 Taking time to connect with nature helps clear the mind, reduce stress, and improve focus — all important parts of growing and learning! 🌼💚
