Hunger in America Millions of children and families living in America face hunger and food insecurity every day. Due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, more than 54 million people may experience food insecurity in 2020, including a potential 18 million children. According to the USDA's latest Household Food Insecurity in the United States report, more than 35 million people in the United States struggled with hunger in 2019. In 2018, 14.3 million American households were food insecure with limited or uncertain access to enough food. Households with children are more likely to experience food insecurity. Before the coronavirus pandemic, more than 10 million children live in food-insecure households. Every community in the country is home to families who struggle with food insecurity including rural and suburban communities. Many households that experience food insecurity do not qualify for federal nutrition programs and need to rely on their local food banks and other hunger relief organizations for support. If you are anyone you know that has children in the WOWE school district you feel would benefit from the BACKPACK Program please fill out the form and return to your school office.

Message from the League of Women Voters

I got married over the weekend! My current class kept saying they wished they could be at my wedding, so I tried on my veil at school to show them. ♡ This is my 10th year teaching in Ogema. It is an enormous privilege for me to work and teach near where I grew up. If I ever taught your kids, please know that they have never left my heart and that they were on my mind on my wedding day. Miss Allen is now Mrs. Bendson! ♡

Today the MSHSL approved the moving forward with a fall football season, which means that yes, we will have cheer! Yahoo! With that said there are some serious restrictions we will have to abide by. First and foremost - no stunting. I know that this disappoints you as much as it does us. Formations for cheer - six feet of separation in front of the stands and each other. Transportation becomes the biggest issue. There will be no transportation provided by either school to and from practices. And, we will be VERY limited to how many we can take to away games. With all of that said, we are excited to have this opportunity to cheer on our team and support our community. If you are interested in cheer this season, please contact Mrs. Pariso at michellep@waubun.k12.mn.us,or Miss Haverkamp at vhaverkamp@mahnomen.k12.mn.us

Please see the following document for further directions. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k7uh7MP4rbgmwQnyiH4gk0xL559UzCpDnnT6FHcWo1U/edit?usp=sharing

Meal Pick Up Reminder If you signed up for meals Friday afternoon or later your first pick up will be next week. We only get food delivered once a week, so numbers are needed in advance to be able to order enough food. Our wonderful cooks have been working extra hard to provide healthy delicious meals to our students both in school and out. Please have patience as we work through this new challenge. Thanks!

MEAL PROGRAM UPDATE 9/11/20 We will begin free meal service on Monday, September 14th, 2020. If you are a distance learner and now want to pick up meals, please complete the online Meal Pick Up Registration Google form https://forms.gle/aUuJozBLFQ138JB78 or contact Kelly Kent at kellykt@waubun.k12.mn.us or 218-473-6171. Meals must be ordered a week in advance in order for us to be able to order enough food for the week. Meal pick up time is 5:00-5:30pm, days is as follows: Monday – Ogema School and Waubun School Tuesday – Hilltop Supper Club, Berry’s Bar and Elbow Lake Catholic Church parking lots Wednesday – White Earth Community Center parking lot for those signed up for 5 days of meals Thursday - White Earth Community Center parking lot for those signed up for 3 days of meals We ask that if you sign up for meals you pick them up. After 2 consecutive times of missing your meal pick up you will be removed from the list.

We are so excited to have our students back. We appreciate all that you are doing to help make this happen. It has been a challenging task for certain but well worth it. With that being stated, we are asking that there be no more changes to education plans after September 15th, 2020. If your student(s) is Hybrid Plan A, Hybrid Plan B or Distance Learning, we ask that they stay there until the end of the quarter (November 6th). The ongoing changes are having a negative impact on the education and services of other learners. There was a lot of coordination of efforts that occurred to make these plans happen. Thank you for working with us during these challenging times. We understand that there may be changes necessary due to COVID-19, we will deal with these individually.
