🚨 LAST DAY OF SCHOOL SHENANIGANS ALERT 🚨
We have reports of a GORILLA spotted roaming the halls of Mahnomen Public School today! 👀🦍
Teachers are attempting to continue lessons... students are trying to stay calm... and we can neither confirm nor deny that the gorilla may be celebrating the last day of school a little too hard. 🤪
If you see suspicious monkey business, excessive laughter, or bananas missing from lunches… please report it immediately. 🍌
Happy Last Day of School, Thunderbirds! Have a safe, fun, and unforgettable summer! 🩵🖤

The Mahnomen Waubun Law Enforcement Explorers recently visited Northland Community Technical College to experience real-world police training! Our students jumped right into the action and got a firsthand look at what it takes to protect and serve. During the visit, they participated in:
Decontamination Training: Students assisted college academy students in safely removing OC (pepper) spray after exposure.
Forensic Science: Explorers learned the meticulous process of evidence collection, practicing fingerprinting, and creating physical print molds.
VR Use of Force Scenarios: Using high-tech Virtual Reality, students were placed in intense, real-time scenarios. They learned how officer discretion, situational awareness, and the law dictate the appropriate use of force.
We are incredibly proud of our Explorers for their focus, maturity, and enthusiasm during this advanced training. Thank you to Northland Community Technical College for hosting us and investing in the next generation of law enforcement professionals!
