The Legion Auxiliary was kind enough to donate $100 to our school

library. The money was used towards expanding the collection of

Scooby Do books. The books that were donated are suitable for elemen-

tary students or anyone interested in the adventures of Scooby Doo!

These books are full color, hard cover books and all have AR tests.

Thanks to the Legion Auxiliary for their donation. It is greatly appreci-

ated and the books will be well read.

On Tuesday, October 25, the

8th grade class (left) along with

Ms. Schultz traveled to Water-

town, South Dakota to tour the

Terry Redlin Art Center and

participate in a drawing contest.

It was a great day and everyone

became more appreciative of art.

rief, Julio Estrada, and Livy Johnson. PHOTO by Mrs. Kraemer

As you may know, there

eventually will be newer com-

puters put into the computer lab.

What you might not know is that

the ones in the computer lab will

go to the teachers and that will

help them have a faster boot up

time.

What Mr. Hanson would like

to do next is replace the com-

puters in the computer lab every

year so then everyone would have

better connections and hopefully

less problems.

If you didn’t notice the inter-

net connection this year, compared

to last year, is twice as fast so you

do not have to wait as long for

websites to load.

Another thing on his list was

to have the first and second grad-

ers all have their own ipads and

not have to share devices. He was

able to purchase more ipads so

each classroom has a set, one for

each student to use.

Past presidential races...

• Nineteen of America's 43 presidents have been Republicans; 14 have

been Democrats.

• The first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln, who was elected

in 1860 and 1864. Andrew Jackson, elected in 1828 and 1832, was the

first presidential candidate to run (and win) as a Democrat.

• The House has twice decided the presidential election because no can-

didate received a majority in the Electoral College (Thomas Jefferson in

1800 and John Quincy Adams in 1824).

• The most states ever won by a presidential candidate is 49. In 1972,

Richard Nixon carried every state except Massachu-

setts; in 1984, Ronald Reagan carried every state ex-

cept Minnesota. Both lost the District of Columbia.

The most states ever won by a Democratic presiden-

tial candidate is 46. In 1936, Franklin Roosevelt car-

ried 46 of 48 states, failing to capture only Maine and

Vermont.

• Four presidents have won the presidency while losing the popular vote:

John Quincy Adams (1824), Rutherford B. Hayes (1876), Benjamin

Harrison (1888) and George W. Bush (2000). http://www.cnn.com

Ronald McDonald Is Lying Low

America’s creepy clown

problem is getting so out of hand

that even beloved clown Ronald

McDonald seems a little freaked

out.

The fast-

food chain

M c D o n a l d ’ s

released to the

public that its

mascot will

be lying low for a while because

of all the reports of creepy clown

sightings across the country.

McDonald’s isn’t putting a

ban on public appearances by its

red-nosed clown, but the com-

pany is being thoughtful in re-

gards to Ronald McDonald’s

appearances. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation

Target Stops Selling

Clown Masks

Target stopped selling clown

masks after a bunch of reported

clown attacks, some real and

some fake.

Target, based in Minneapo-

lis has 1,799 stores in the United

States. The company did not say

if the decision would affect all of

its stores.

●Glass cannot be recycled for-

ever.

●It takes approximately 1 million

years for a glass bottle to break

down in a landfill.

●Steel producers in the U.S. use

about 70% recycled steel.

●Every year Americans throw

away enough steel to

produce all the new

cars made in the U.S.

●Tin cans are actu-

ally 99% steel with a

thin layer of tin to

prevent rusting.

●Aluminum cans recycled last

year stacked one on top of each

other would be 1,454 times taller

than the Empire State Building.

●75% of the trees recycled for

paper products are never made

into paper products!

●Paper made from recycled paper

rather than virgin fibers requires

70% less energy. http://ecocycle.org/ecofacts (10-31-16)

He wants to make it easier for

families to afford college so

students aren’t buried in debt.

Trump says that he is op-

posed to abortion except for

rape. He opposes the use of

government funds to pay for

abortions. He says, “As far as

Planned Parenthood is con-

cerned, I’m prolife.”

Hillary says that Politicians

have no business interfering

with women’s personal health

decisions. And as president she

would stand up for Planned

Parenthood and women's access

to critical health services, in-

cluding safe, legal abortion.

Hillary said “that there can be

restrictions in the very end of

the third trimester, but they

have to take into account the

life and health of the mother.”

Hillary says

that more than

33.000 Ameri-

cans are killed

each year by

guns. She is go-

ing to fight to

take guns away

from dangerous

people and get

comprehensive

b a c k g r o u n d

checks.

The election

is on Tuesday,

November 8.

It’s only a few days until we

elect a new president. There are

people who have already cast their

votes. The debates are over and

America should have a pretty good

idea where each candidate stands on

certain topics.

Trump wants to abolish

Obama Care, repeal and replace

it. Whereas Hillary wants to fix

Obama Care and give it some

updates and fix what's broken

about it instead of just throwing

it out.

Trump wants to bring back

law and order and make a

strong border. Hillary says that

everybody has a place in Amer-

ica, but she won’t just let any-

body who poses as a threat

come into the US.

Hillary says she will work

to ensure that every child from

every zip-code has

access to a world

class education,

including access to

high quality pre-

school. Trump says

that he will enhance

education options

through school

choice and charters,

a n d r e s p e c t

homeschoolers in

their quest for edu-

cational alternatives.

Freshwater sharks once

thought extinct rediscovered

In an expedition to Papua

New Guinea, a team of scientists

found some unusual shark fins

and jaws being sold in the market

on the island Daru.

These sharks were found to

be the Spear Tooth shark and the

New Guinea Freshwater shark,

two species that were thought to

be extinct since the 1970’s.

After some searching, scien-

tists were able to find a live speci-

men known to science as the New

Guinea Freshwater shark. These

Sharks belong to the Genus

Glyphis. They are one of the

most rare sharks on the planet,

and are critically endangered. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/

FYI: There are around 440

known species of sharks in the

world. Other endangered species

of sharks include the Angelshark

off the coasts of Europe, the Dag-

gernose shark found near African

coasts, and the Zebra shark found

in the Indo-Pacific sea. There are

many vulnerable species too.

This time of year the duck

hunting usually slows down

around here and many people take

trips to North Dakota to go hunt-

ing.

North Dakota is right in the

heart of central flyway and is a

great place to hunt waterfowl year

round. There are plenty opportu-

nities for great duck and goose

hunts and the state attracts water

fowlers from all around the coun-

try.

North Dakota has a open walk

in rule. This means as long as the

area is not posted by the owners

anyone can hunt the land at any-

time. This rule is very helpful for

hunters.

The Minnesota Vikings are at

this point one of the best teams in

the league with a record of 5-2.

This status was a surprise to many

after an injury filled start losing

their starting QB Teddy Bridge-

water, their starting RB Adrian

Peterson, and their starting LG

Matt Kalil plus many others.

The area that is keeping the

Vikings afloat is their impressive

defense that has only allowed a

average of 14 points per game.

Though they have had a de-

cent offense with their quick deci-

sion to trade for QB Sam Brad-

ford who until their loss to Philly

last week had not had a turnover

and had 1,214 passing yards. We

also have had some receivers step

up like Stefon Diggs with 400+

yards this season but who has also

suffered from injuries and missed

2 weeks.

My brother Brandon and I

went to Iowa to visit some family

members and to go to an Iowa

State football game last weekend.

We had pretty good seats in a

packed stadium. Note the pictures

to the left and below.

Iowa State played its rival

Kansas State. Iowa State’s record

was 1-6 and Kansas State’s record

was 5-3.

Iowa State played a very good

first half but then they kind of hit

a slump and started to really sink.

Kansas State ended up winning

with a score of 31-26. Iowa State

and Kansas State have had a

rivalry since 1917. Iowa State has

has a record 49–47–4 .

The Vam-

pire Diaries

The Awaken-

ing

By L.J. Smith

The Vam-

pire Diaries

starts out with

Elena return-

ing home

from her trip

at the start of a new school year.

On the first day of school a new

student arrives from Italy. Elena

intently likes Stephan but later on

in the book she learns that

Stephan and his brother Damon

are Vampires.

If you are interested in reading

these books they are a lot like

Twilight with the love triangle

between Elena and the 2 vampire

brothers. Though if you ask cer-

tain people they will say its com-

pletely different.

The Vampire Diaries is writ-

ten by L.J. Smith and it is now a

T.V. show on the CW along with

another book series written by L.J.

Smith called the Secret Circle. I

personally do really like the Vam-

pire Diaries along with some of

Smith’s other books.
