Here's how it works: each penny or bill you donate counts as a positive point for your grade, while other coins count as negative points for opposing grades. The team with the most points at the end wins! All the money raised will go to the Fosston Holiday Spirit Fund, helping to provide warm holiday meals for families in our community.

On Wednesday, October 23rd, the Fosston High School Student Council successfully organized their Annual Fall Blood Drive. The event attracted a generous response from students, staff, and community members, resulting in a total of 27 successful donations.
The check-in booth was efficiently managed by student council members, supervised by their advisor, Ellen Bolduc. Vitalant's excellent team, out of Fargo, North Dakota, facilitated a calm and compassionate atmosphere for donors, contributing to the lifesaving impact of the event.
Karen Graham of the Fosston Civic Center has been a steadfast supporter of this important initiative, allowing the use of the civic center gym for the blood drive for many years. The collaboration between donors, community members, the student council, and the Vitalant team is essential to the success of this event.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in the 2024 Fall Blood Drive. Below are some photos capturing the spirit of the event.

The fifth and sixth graders completed a drone unit during their STEM classes recently. They learned about important regulations governing the operation of drones. Then they demonstrated their coding skills using the Droneblocks app to program missions for their drones to complete. With each line of code, they watched as their drones came to life by performing intricate maneuvers.
