On October 9th and 10th, Ogema Elementary classes took walking field trips to our Ogema Fire Department to learn about fire safety. Thank you to all of the firefighters and police officers who worked together to share safety with our students during Fire Safety Week!
October is Fire Prevention Month!
Here are a few tips to keep in mind as we continue to raise awareness about fire safety this month:
~ Install smoke alarms
~ Check smoke alarm batteries
~ Give space heaters space
~ Make a fire escape plan
~ Learn how to Stop, Drop, and Roll!
~ Crawl low under smoke

🌲 Exciting News from the School Forest! 🌲
The Kick Start kids have already explored the school forest twice, and we’re thrilled that they will be regular visitors! Here are a few highlights from their adventures so far:
• Outdoor Fun: The students loved the outdoor playground and kitchen, learning about nature through active play.
• Engaging Activities: From building forts to using tools, the kids teamed up to create, sparking their imaginations and teamwork.
• Mindfulness Moments: During the “Get in the Moment” activity, students paused to appreciate the beauty of their surroundings, deepening their connection to nature.
We also kicked off our first Family Night with a glowing night hike! Families checked out the exciting changes happening in the forest, enjoyed games, and ended the night with hot chocolate and s’mores around the campfire.
Starting this week, all grades from Kick Start through 6th grade will be joining us at the forest to dive into hands-on learning with our amazing Culture Teachers. Through interactive stations, students will explore literacy, math, and the cultural history of the Three Sisters Garden.
A big thank you to the WOWE Cultural Program, Larry Hoban (Ma & Pa’s Roadside Market), Heather Heisler with the White Earth Public Health Tribal SHIP grant, and the WETCC Extension Program for their incredible support and donations!
Stay tuned for more adventures at the School Forest! 🌱
