Message from the League of Women Voters
I got married over the weekend! My current class kept saying they wished they could be at my wedding, so I tried on my veil at school to show them. ♡ This is my 10th year teaching in Ogema. It is an enormous privilege for me to work and teach near where I grew up. If I ever taught your kids, please know that they have never left my heart and that they were on my mind on my wedding day. Miss Allen is now Mrs. Bendson! ♡
Today the MSHSL approved the moving forward with a fall football season, which means that yes, we will have cheer! Yahoo!
With that said there are some serious restrictions we will have to abide by.
First and foremost - no stunting. I know that this disappoints you as much as it does us.
Formations for cheer - six feet of separation in front of the stands and each other.
Transportation becomes the biggest issue. There will be no transportation provided by either school to and from practices. And, we will be VERY limited to how many we can take to away games.
With all of that said, we are excited to have this opportunity to cheer on our team and support our community.
If you are interested in cheer this season, please contact
Mrs. Pariso at michellep@waubun.k12.mn.us,or
Miss Haverkamp at vhaverkamp@mahnomen.k12.mn.us
Congratulations to our September Senior of the Month:

Meal Pick Up Reminder
If you signed up for meals Friday afternoon or later your first pick up will be next week. We only get food delivered once a week, so numbers are needed in advance to be able to order enough food. Our wonderful cooks have been working extra hard to provide healthy delicious meals to our students both in school and out. Please have patience as we work through this new challenge. Thanks!

We are so excited to have our students back. We appreciate all that you are doing to help make this happen. It has been a challenging task for certain but well worth it. With that being stated, we are asking that there be no more changes to education plans after September 15th, 2020. If your student(s) is Hybrid Plan A, Hybrid Plan B or Distance Learning, we ask that they stay there until the end of the quarter (November 6th). The ongoing changes are having a negative impact on the education and services of other learners. There was a lot of coordination of efforts that occurred to make these plans happen. Thank you for working with us during these challenging times. We understand that there may be changes necessary due to COVID-19, we will deal with these individually.
