Houlton’s K-5 students are working on their dots for Dot Day in art class! We took inspiration from the book “The Dot” and focused on the Abstract Artist, Wassily Kandinsky.

PBIS rewards!
As part of Willow River’s PBIS program, students can earn blue tickets for expected behavior. Every couple of weeks, blue tickets are randomly drawn for a quick and fun reward – this week’s was for 10 minutes of extra recess. Congratulations to the students who were picked for this last week!
Patriot’s Day
Students at River Crest participated in Patriot’s Day last week. Students in Mrs. Burgraff’s 1st grade class decorated with chalk art and Mrs. Roger’s Kindergarten class posed for a class photo. 
The Raider Way
Middle School students spent advisory learning about what it means to be a Raider and “The Raider Way.” Each day, as advisories got to know one another through greetings and games, components of The Raider Way–reflective, accountable, inspired, driven, empathetic, ready, and service-focused–were highlighted. Friday culminated in the viewing of a video in which some members of Hudson High School’s class of 2022 spoke about how The Raider Way plays out in their lives and what impact the Hudson community has had on their lives. This whole week will form the framework and direction for a year of mindful learning, community connections, and character building, with 7 Mindsets being the anchor that holds it all together.
