The Laker
October 10, 2014
Exceeding Expectations, It's the Laker way
Superior Smiles
Northlakes Community Clinic is offering a yearlong
dental program for our students in grades 4K-8th. You
will find information about this program attached to
the Laker. Copies will be left in each school office.
This program will see EVERY student that signs up,
regardless of income or insurance. If you are
interested, please complete the permission slip and
return to your child’s teacher by October 24th. Any
questions about the program, please call Kelly
Schmidt, R.N. School Nurse at 715-468-7815.
Wolf Ridge
The 7th grade will depart for Wolf Ridge on Monday,
October 13. Parents, please remember to get students
to school by 7:15 to load up! The students will have
adventure classes for building personal confidence
such as rock climbing and a high ropes adventure
course. They will study the history of the North
Shore including the voyageurs of the fur trade and the
Ojibway. Science classes include bird, geology,
genetics, weather, water quality, astronomy, ecology,
and more! There is also a raptor program with birds
of prey. Mr. Nauertz would like to thank everyone
who helps make this experience possible.
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 world’s 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!

Walk/Bike To School
This "shout out" goes to Taylor Hall for planning and
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!

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!
