​Lights ON at the Ashby Football Field on Monday: Ashby School is one of more than 200 across Minnesota to be involved in the #BeTheLightMN effort, to recognize seniors in the Class of 2020 and to show love and support for students of all ages that were forced into distance learning and away from schools to combat the spread of COVID-19.  On Monday evening (April 13th) at 8 p.m., the lights at the Ashby Football Field will be turned on. They will remain on for 20 minutes and 20 seconds. The goal of the #BeTheLightMN campaign is to show that the lights serve as beacons of hope for students, school staff, and community members. Please do not gather in the parking lots near the lights, to avoid congregation! You are encouraged to view the lights from afar and to turn your porch lights on in support, and to maintain proper social distancing. The lights at Ashby Field will be turned on each Monday evening at 8 pm until further notice.

​Do you eat snow?  Preschoolers love eating snow, but after collecting snow from various locations and observing it as it melted, they discovered some snow should not be eaten!  They discovered the parking lot and playground snow is full of dirt, but the snow from the football field and wetland area melted cleaner!  

The preschoolers have been learning all about dental health.  They have been practicing brushing and flossing, have talked about different ways to keep their teeth healthy and had a visit from Dr. Jill Balgaard, dentist at LifeSmiles Dental in Fergus Falls.
