Laker Way Winners

th

Interstate Park
On Wednesday the 8th grade traveled to Taylors Falls.
The area was given the name, Delles of the St.
Croix Located here are the worlds largest and most
numerous potholes created by glacial melt water from
The Glacial Lake Duluth at the end of the last Ice
Age. Fractured billion-year-old basalt gave way to
the extreme forces as the melt water carved the gorge.
It was a beautiful day to learn how glacial forces
shaped our state.
School Store
The School Store will be open every Friday during
the High School Lunch Hour (11:00-11:30) and this
Friday at the homecoming game starting at 6:30.
Most items are HALF OFF to make room for the new
stuff coming soon!

executing a fabulous walk/bike to school for all of the
students at Shell Lake. The teachers, parents, law
enforcement officers, and volunteers helped to make
it a huge success. The smiling faces and good
morning greetings set the stage for a great day to
learn and teach in the Shell Lake School District.
Nice job Mr. Hall!

interested in discussing future band trips on Monday,
October 13th at 7pm in the band room. You do not
need to be a Band Aide member to attend. We are
looking for input on location, frequency, and costs

Fire Safety
The Shell Lake Fire Department visited the Primary
School! They talked to the students about fire
safety, finding a meeting place in case of a fire, and
changing the batteries in their smoke detectors.
They also brought the smoke house which
simulates a fire with real smoke. Thank you to the
Fire Department Volunteers for keeping us safe in
Shell Lake!
