Students touring the auto workshop at North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton.

Students from DLHS & DLALC went to the North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton. The morning consisted of a campus tour where they learned about the many programs they offer. In the afternoon, they attended a career fair with over 200 booths! Students played a bingo game while they visited booths and learned more about companies that employ NDSCS graduates. It was fun to see the students step out of their comfort zone and interact with professionals.

A big THANK YOU to our community volunteers and Mid Minnesota Credit Union for making MAD City Money a success! ALC students gained valuable insights into budgeting during this interactive experience. Many discovered how easy it is to overspend.

Students from the HS and ALC visited Concordia and MSUM colleges this week. They listened to presentations, asked great questions to the student ambassador panels, had tours of the campuses in the blustery weather, and then ate a delicious complimentary lunch in the main dining hall cafeterias. They also were able to see a former DLHS grad, now a Senior at Concordia. This was a great experience for students and staff!

Mike Swan presenting about Native American dwellings.

On Monday, our cultural liaison, Mike Swan, shared about native dwellings at the ALC. This is a fun project students at the ALC and HS do each year in December instead of the traditional gingerbread houses. Mike shared photos showing the types of homes many Indigenous people lived in, including pictures of the house he grew up in and his grandmother's house. This information will be helpful as students start their own native dwellings next week. Miigwech Mike!
