Clue 4
🚨 BIGFOOT SIGHTING ALERT! 🚨
Your next stop is someone who’s cool under pressure,

🏈 He knows his way around a football field,
but this time, he’s calling the plays inside the school!
He’s got the school spirit,
the football knowledge,
and the answers you’re looking for.
You’ll find Bigfoot somewhere in his morning
student huddles.

The hunt is not done yet. They have found clue 3 and found Bigfoot once again.
Bigfoot has been spotted!
Bigfoot has been on the move,
Leaving clues for you to prove!
He's tired of hiding and ready to roam,
So he headed somewhere filled with numbers-not a home!
Where problems are solved and numbers grow,
That's where Bigfoot wants you to go!
Your next clue is waiting in the room where math makes your brain go boom!
Hurry before Bigfoot gets there first!

Mrs. Renner’s 8th grade Earth science class, students acted as real scientists and meteorologists! They used weather data from today to predict tomorrow’s weather. Some students even wanted to dress the part and wear lab coats! Looking good, everyone!

Our youngest learners got to enjoy the Lee Lake Farm pumpkin patch and corn maze by Fosston today. Smiles and fun were had by everyone. And no one got lost in the corn maze!

Bigfoot has been on the move! Here is clue number 2.
Bigfoot Sighting Alert!
Find the room where ideas are written high,
Where a daily white board catches your eye.
Look for the place where a Thunderbird flies,
And a teacher's desk holds secrets in disguise.
There are tables, chairs, and many books where students read and learn,
But Bigfoot says, "don't let your eyes turn!"
Find the room with the flag standing tall,
And your next clue may be hiding there after all!
"Hurry, hunters! Run to Clover, Mint-Chip, and Mochi!"
Answer: Kati Andrs

We have had a Bigfoot sighting at Mahnomen High School! Ms. Bingham's class has been searching high and low. Here is the 1st clue they got.
Clue One:
Bigfoot Sighting Alert!
Bigfoot has been spotted, and he is chilling somewhere high!
He's not in a classroom where lessons fly.
He's got plenty of swag, a smile that shines,
And somehow he always knows when the students are doing just fine!
The kids all love him-that's your biggest clue!
He helps, he listens, and knows what to do.
If you want to find this legendary best,
Look up high to who can't be beat!

🧡 Orange Shirt Day: A Meaningful Mile
Our students, staff, families, and community came together for a Meaningful Mile Walk in recognition of Orange Shirt Day and Every Child Matters.
The morning began with breakfast and beverages, followed by the Opichi Drum Group, before participants took to the Mahnomen School track for the walk.
Seeing so many people wearing orange and walking together was a meaningful reminder of the importance of honoring the experiences of Indigenous children, families, and communities and recognizing that Every Child Matters.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this morning meaningful. A special thank you to the Mahnomen American Indian Education Program, Mahnomen Tribal Community Council, Opichi Drum Group, and everyone who helped organize and support the event.
