Mr. Bordwell took 7th/8th grade to Prairie Lake on Friday February 7th for a Natural Resources class field trip. Dusty Keil offered a few of his ice houses on the lake, and Sarah Robert’s and her dad brought an extra portable. Randy Kiminski and Joe Rahja also came and helped out. All the kids were warm enough, and had fun on the lake. We caught 27 fish in total thanks to minnows from Larry’s Bait and Service, with the majority being crappies.
Floodwood females participated in the Women in the Workforce event at MN North College-Hibbing today!

They also got a tour of the campus and started the networking process by asking lots of questions of current students and professionals. Lots of fun learning happened today for Floodwood students!
