From Mrs. Bullinger: Huge congratulations go out to Matt Hamilton and Sam Bentley for their standout spelling prowess at the State Spelling Bee in Bismarck on Monday. Two spellers from each county compete at the State level for this event, so the competition is fierce. Both students made it through a written round to continue to compete in the finals. After moving through multiple rounds, Matt earned a 4th place finish while Sam finished in the Top 14. This is an enormous accomplishment and they certainly did Bottineau proud!

Hats for Brandts TOMORROW!!
Buses will run Monday 3/13, but due to many roads still being blocked with snow we may not be able to get to every stop. If you are blocked in, or a bus is unable to get to your home your student(s) will be excused.
Congrats to Carson on being named to the All Region 6 Team! Way to go Carson!
