Congratulations students and

staff for a job well done! The all-

important MCA testing is com-

pleted for the 2016-2017 school

year and preliminary results will

be sent home with student report

cards at the end of this school

year. Formal results will be

mailed to families in September.

You may ask, what is MCA

Testing? The Minnesota Compre-

hensive Assessments (MCAs) are

the state tests that help districts

measure student progress toward

Minnesota's academic standards.

Reading and Mathematics

tests are given in grades 3-8, 10

and 11. Science tests are given in

grades 5 and 8 and once in high

school, depending on when stu-

dents complete classes in life

sciences but usually in 10th grade.

By Mrs. Kraemer District Assessment Coordinator

The Elementary Yearbooks

have arrived! If you would like

one, please let me or Mrs.

Kraemer know. They are still

$10 each! We have worked very

hard on making sure everyone

was included in this yearbook

several times.

This yearbook was made

completely online. Individual

pictures and some group pic-

tures were taken by Scherling

Photography from Fargo, others

were taken by myself or Mrs.

Kraemer.

The High School year-

books have also arrived. There

are some extra copies. If you

would like one contact Mrs.

Kraemer, Mikalya Dahlen, or

Skyler Hill ASAP. Cost is $35.

**Remember the signing party!**

The FFA Fish and Wildlife

team along with the Small Ani-

mals team traveled to the Twin

Cities for the state convention

April 23 through 25. The Fish

and Wildlife team took 4th overall

in state!

They had no individuals in the

top five but had a very good team

score. The Small Animals team

tested and are still waiting for

their results. The participants got

to stay in the cities for three days

and enjoy meals at restaurants of

their choice. The state convention

is a great atmosphere to be in.

Jump Rope for Heart is a

fundraiser for the American Heart

Association. It is also a fun way

to get exercise and learn about

your heart. Did you know that

thousands of kids are born every

year with hearts that do not work

exactly right?

By doing Jump Rope For

Heart, you can help other kids.

So have fun

and exercise

with your

jump rope

and raise money.

Ashby Jump Rope for Heart

kickoff was March 22. Elemen-

tary students raised $4,212 dol-

lars. The top people to raise

money were Hunter Hanstad in

4th grade and Emily a Evavold in

3rd grade with $200 each.

What’s happening is that the

K-12 Spring Concert will be held

in the Auditorium on May 9, at

6:30 p.m.

The theme for this year is “A

Musical Extravaganza”. Mrs.

Kraemer is directing the kinder-

garten through third grades. Mrs.

Umlauf is directing the fourth

through sixth graders, the bands,

and the high school

choir. It will all be

recorded by the

AHS Video Club and

DVD’s will be sold for $5 the

night of the performance.

The second and third graders

are doing a musical called “Hats”

which celebrates what is under-

neath the hat. The first, third and

fourth graders are planning a spe-

cial surprise for the audience. The

High School band and choir also

have a lot of great songs to per-

form.

There is a new trend going

around in the Starbucks world and

for the most part, it’s not a good one.

Starbucks has a new drink

that changes color when you mix

it around called the Unicorn Frap-

puccino. People are going crazy

over them, but when they taste

them they're unsure if it’s good or

not.

While this drink may sound

delicious, the Stratford Health

Department called out the drink’s

high sugar content. This new

magical drink holds 59 grams of

sugar; that is over two times the

amount of sugar recommended by

the American Heart

Association.

If you’re going to

stop in and get one

make sure you don’t

have any other sugar for

the rest of the day.

Zakk Wylde to play with Ozzy

Zakk Wylde has reunited with

Ozzy Osbourne for part of his

summer tours this year. Thirty

years ago Zakk teamed up with

became a legend of rock. Wylde

performed with Osbourne on five

albums the most notable being on

“No More Tears”. http://loudwire.com/zakk-wylde-back-in-

Lamb grown in artificial

environment

Imagine a growing a baby in

an artificial womb; sounds like

science fiction right? Not really

now. Researchers have shown it's

possible to nurture and protect

lambs in late stages of gestation

inside an artificial womb. This

technology could become a life-

saver for many premature human

babies in just a few years. Cur-

rently babies born at or before 25

weeks have a low survival rate,

and it’s the leading cause of infant

mortality and morbidity in the

US. With this new tech the babies

can continue developing. This can

make the di fference be-

tween severe health problems and

a relatively healthy baby. http://www.sciencealert.com/researchers-

Engineering Students Make A

stationary version of the Rubik’s

it wasn't very easy either. This

giant cube is now on display. But

they say you will have to wait in

line to see it, plus it takes over an

hour to solve it.

West Fargo Public Schools

are waiting for the final report of

what the extermination company

found in the school after a student

and staff member report being

bitten by something. Students and

staff returned to L.E. Berger

school Monday.

The district communicated

with parents on Sunday to alert

them school and activities would

be regularly scheduled.

The company hired to investi-

gate the situation at Berger Ele-

mentary found nothing that would

impact the safety of children or

staff.

The bites happened in two

different areas of the school and

neither people saw what bit them.

The district says the staff member

was bit Thursday and the student

on Friday. The bites are small in

size.

The theory is that it was most

likely a bat.

that former professional hockey

players were free of significant

mental impairment on tests of

cognitive function, but displayed a

Alvin York was the third old-

est of a family of eleven children.

His father’s name was William

York. He was born December 13,

1887 in Pall Mall, Tennessee in the

northern section of Fentress

County.

York had only nine months of

schooling his whole life and

worked at a railroad near his home.

Alvin York was drafted in 1917

and was known as a deadly accu-

rate shot and a partier. He was a

heavy drinker but changed because

his best friend died in a bar fight.

Alvin witnessed a revival of a

dead person by a Christian priest

so he changed his ways and be-

came a Christian. He married

Gracie Williams in 1919 and they

had 10 children.

At the age of thirty he was

sent a draft notice and wrote back

saying that he didn’t want to fight,

but was forced into war anyways.

York was known as the great-

est American hero and most deco-

rated Army soldier of WWI.

He died on September 2, 1964

from chronic physical problems.

He was buried in the Pall Mall

cemetery with full military hon-

ors.

Witches of

East End By

Melissa de la Cruz

Joanna and her

daughters Freya

and Ingrid seem to

live normal quiet

lives though they are keeping a

big secret. They are witches! Jo-

anna has the power to resurrect

people from the dead and can heal

from most injuries. Then there is

her daughter Ingrid who can pre-

dict the future and weave knots

that can solve anything. There is

also Freya who has a charm or a

potion that can cure anything.

Once they realize that they

can no longer keep their powers a

secret, they start casting spells

that eventually get them in trouble

with dark forces. h t t p s : / / ww w. g o o d r e a d s . c o m / b o o k /

Witches of East

End is not only a

book; it was also

turned into a T.V.

show.

The T.V. show

still centers around

a mother (Joanna) and her two

daughters, though the daughters

were never told that they were

witches. In the T.V. show Freya

and Ingrid have a curse on them

that whenever they die they

would automatically be born

again. This time when they were

born again Joanna decided to not

tell the girls about their powers

although when their aunt comes

to town she starts slipping them

little clues about their powers.

Once they find about their

powers they find out about other

witches in the town and learn that

they have a brother that their

mother was forced to leave be-

hind.

Victoria Walker has watched

Witches of East End and she says

that she loved the show.

The 1991 GMC Syclone was

This week for my restaurant

review I’m going to do a sand-

wich shop that I hold near and

dear to my heart, Jimmy John’s.

Jimmy John’s is a sandwich

chain that makes subs ‘Freaky

Fast’ and they’re freaky good. If

you have ever been to this restau-

rant you’d know that they make

their bread everyday to give your

sandwich a fresh crunch. They

also cut all of their vegetables and

meat in store that same day.

My personal favorite combo

is the “Slim 5” with salt and vine-

gar chips along with a Dr. Pepper.

I like this sandwich because there

isn't a lot of meat and fillers in it

so I can taste the bread; the bread

is my favorite part!

If you ever have a party or

event, you can call Jimmy John’s

and they will cater with whatever

sandwiches you want. They also

please their customers by having a

customer appreciation day every

year. On this day they

make sure every sub

is one dollar. Make

sure you stop in or

make them a part of

your next event! There is a Jimmy

Johns’ in Alex next to WalMart.

Outlast 2 is a first-person

survival horror video game devel-

Outlast 2 is a single-player

campaign. It is set in Northern

Arizona. The game is also carry-

i n g o v e r t h e f o o t -

age characteristics from the first

game. The player controls the

journalist Blake Langermann,

who investigates a rural area

in Supai near the western edge of

the Colorado Plateau.
