The future of Titans Volleyball is BRIGHT! 🌟 👚 made by : Ash+Oak

🎪🥒 COME ONE, COME ALL TO THE GREATEST CRUNCH ON EARTH! 🥒🎪 We’re kind of a BIG DILL here at Drayton School! 💚 Today, our Bombers joined the 2026 North Dakota Crunch Off with a schoolwide cucumber and pickle CRUNCH! We combined the fun with National School Lunch Week’s Cafeteria Circus theme for a DILL-icious celebration! 🎉 Our Ag teacher, Mr. Riddle, shared some fun facts about cucumbers and agriculture, while Nurse Kallie taught us about the nutritional benefits of these crunchy foods. We even had a special visit from a VERY BIG DILL! 🥒😂 The highlight? Our amazing lunch ladies led the countdown to THE GREATEST CRUNCH ON EARTH! A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make this event possible, especially our wonderful food service staff, who keep our Bombers fueled every day! One School. One Team. One BIG CRUNCH! ❤️🖤 #NDCrunchOff #NationalSchoolLunchWeek #FarmToSchool #DraytonBombers #KindOfABigDill

☀️ What a beautiful day for a reward! ☀️ On Friday, our 1st graders picked the perfect day to cash in their prize for being the FIRST class to earn a SOAR Bingo during Homecoming Week! ❤️🖤 Way to go, 1st grade! Keep SOARing, Bombers! ✈️

🌱 Learning is BEET-er with our 5 senses! ❤️ Our PreK and Kindergarten students had a beet-tastic time exploring sugar beets using their senses! 👀👃✋👂 With sugar beet harvest in full swing in our community, this was an especially meaningful hands-on learning experience! Many of our little Bombers are farmers in the making or have family members who work in the fields, at the beet plant, or help with harvest in some way. 🚜 Connecting classroom learning to the world around us makes learning even more meaningful! And of course, no sugar beet exploration would be complete without listening to one of their favorite tunes… the Sugar Beet Song! 🎶 #Sweetlearning
