The Hettinger/Scranton Nighthawks will be having their fall sports banquet on Sunday, November 23, at 6:00 in the Scranton Public School gymnasium to celebrate the accomplishments of the girls' golf, football, and volleyball athletes and teams.  The Nighthawk Booster Club will be providing the main meal but are asking each family to bring their own beverage.  The Nighthawk Booster Club is also asking each senior family to bring a pan of bars or cookies to share.  We are asking that each team member get a head count of immediate family members who will be attending the banquet to their coach no later than Wednesday, November 19th so that we can plan accordingly for food. If you are dual sport athlete or have siblings in a fall sport, please only RSVP once for you and your family. We cannot wait for a fun night of celebrating our athletes!

A little sneak peek of what's to come on Friday! Join us for "Hurry Up & Wait!" presented by the Scranton Junior Class! 7 PM Don't be late!⏰

⛳💻 Coding in 5th Grade! 💻⛳ Our 5th graders have been working hard in computer science! Right now, they’re practicing different coding skills before they “golf” their way through the whole course. Timing, precision, and patience are all part of the game! Before we jump into complex code, we’re learning how important it is to plan ahead. Students are practicing writing pseudocode (basically an outline of their code) and using comments to help guide their programs. We’re also introducing the Delay Block — because sometimes you need to pause instead of rushing through! They’re doing an awesome job, and we can’t wait to see them apply all of these skills when they take on the full challenge soon!

Seniors and 8th graders to a trip to the District Court in Bowman. They were able to see a variety of cases and Judge Ehlis spent some time talking to the students about her job and what it took to become a District Judge. After court, Jodi Freier gave the students a tour of County Offices, Lt. Dunn talked about the Sheriffs Department and the students how each office operates and they do and will affect their lives.

A great night of entertainment in Hettinger on Friday, November 28th. Tickets can be purchased at www.medorachristmas.com or scan here!
