The Blodgett family is happy to announce the arrival of Amelia Elizabeth born yesterday, Sunday, January 20th. Amelia weighed 8 lbs. 15 oz. Congratulations to Brian, Christina, Madison and Thomas!!

Congratulations to all who participated Saturday at Speech Contest in Ventura. We faced some very good competition and tough judging, but you were excellent
representatives of North Iowa. Thank you to those students that filled in for others on short notice. Your willingness to do that allowed the whole group to perform rather than drop the entry. Well done. A special thank you goes to Mrs. Webb who agreed to chaperone our bus. Without her help the students would have been leaving at 5:15 AM rather than 7:00 AM. The students wanted her to know how much they appreciated the extra sleep!!! Thank you also goes to Mrs. Mayland who helped transport students and choral reading boxes and props from one building to another. We couldn't have done it without you!!!

There will be a speech picture today at 11:50 for all students that received Division I ratings at Contest Saturday. Students listed should meet by Mr. Evans' door at
