Arrow Pride Award recipients...

Sometimes it is hard to see where you are going to end up when you have so much ahead of you to take on.  In our heads we try to convince ourselves that the task is too difficult or the road is too tough. I can tell you though that successful people are able to recognize the challenges ahead of them, clear the distractions and design a path to help the get from where they are to where they want to be. I can tell you that when you do get where you want to go it's “Going to be a bright, bright sunshiny day!

Re: Calendar Revision for the 2018-19 School Year
Date: 3-21-19

As you are aware, the 2018-19 school year has been a challenging year in regards to the weather.  Due to blizzards and extremely cold temperatures, Ashby Schools experienced four school closing days, six two hour late starts, and one 12:30 early out. Knowing that instructional time is important for student achievement and for various other reasons, the Ashby School Board, in cooperation with Supt. Niemann, made the tough decision at the March 20th school board meeting to utilize the four scheduled “make-up” days which are designed into our annual school calendar to extend the school year and make up for lost instructional time.  As such, students in grades PK-11 will now be required to attend school on May 28th, 29th, and 30th. This school year extension will NOT affect the scheduled May 26th graduation ceremony and seniors will not be required to return to school after that date. ​

Students of the Month...

​Years from now, when high school is just a distant memory, you will find yourself in a situation where you will run into an old friend. Maybe it's just a coincidence or a planned reunion but regardless of the reason, you will find yourself face to face with an older version of a good friend. At that moment, memories and thoughts of the past will come back to both of you. Some may be welcomed while others are painful. Through this reunion What both of you will remember are the characteristics that made you who you were at that time. Either one of you may have been a great athlete, an honor roll student, a dropout, an FFA star, a musician, or just a little bit of everything. None of that will matter. What does matter and what will be remembered are the characteristics that made you who you were. 

The point of this story is this....  <More>

Fluid Power Challenge...

​These Ashby Arrow 8th graders attended and won the Team Challenge Fluid Power award held at Alexandria Community and Technical College on February 27.  The competition is meant to give students the chance to think and work like engineers.  The goal was for students to design and build a device able to move a block of wood to designated areas using only fluid power.    There were 17 other teams from the area including Alexandria, Fergus Falls, and Minnewaska.  The Ashby Arrows represented well and scored the most points earning them the trophy and medals for the top Team Challenge Champion Award!  Pictured below are (l to r): Livy Johnson, Brodie Ecker, Ethan Johnsrud, and Emma Erickson.
