Members of the Fosston High School robotics team Guns-N-Robots made a visit to Magelssen Elementary School on Tuesday to promote robotics and discuss their successful season. Kyla Faldet, Christian Olson, and Aaron Gutterud shared details about the robotics program, gave a demonstration of the capabilities of their robot, and discussed their high school activities and upcoming college plans. The team members spoke of the problem solving that was necessary and the many hours of work they invested in their robot. Gunnar Vesledahl was also a member of the team but was unable to join them.

Dr. Dan Ninham presented Indigenous Games and Storytelling (String Games) activities. It was a fun and educational experience for all!

Easton Gilbertson competed in the Regional Spelling Bee hosted by Northwest Service Cooperative in Thief River Falls on Wednesday, February 7. The day began with a written round in which 32 area students spelled 50 words, including “vehemence” and “jute.” Having placed in the top 12, Easton advanced to the oral rounds. After 26 rounds of spelling words such as “congeniality,” “pendulous,” and “fashionista,” he finished in 2nd place, just missing a chance to compete at the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Congratulations, Easton, on your achievements earned through hard work and dedication!
Congratulations to the Magelssen Students of the Month for January! Job well done!!
