Kash found some old family photo albums. He used them in art to learn how to create negatives digitally, then printed new photos in our dark room as part of his heritage project. He not only learned how to use the darkroom, but he also created a linocut of a camera to add to his piece. 📷
The Republic County Current Issues class planned, organized, and administered a Mock Election for students in grades 6-12. They created an electronic ballot, set up a polling place, and evaluated election data. With 73% of the vote Donald J. Trump won the Jr./Sr. High School vote. Kamala Harris won 8% of the Jr./Sr. High School vote. Third-party candidates and a variety of write-ins took the remaining votes. This was a great opportunity to learn about elections, the process of voting, and how election results are analyzed.
Go Buffs!!!

The FAFSA application will open Dec 1st. Maybe you are sure if your student qualifies as a dependent or independent student. Follow the link to determine what your student is. Knowing this ahead of time will help you know what documents you need to have in order to complete the application.

This FAFSA tool can help students and parents determine which parent counts as the parent on the FAFSA form. Knowing this before the application opens on Dec 1st can help you be ready with all the proper information when the application goes live.

Here are the documents that students and parents will need to gather for the 2025-2026 FAFSA application. That application will open December 1st!
https://studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/filling-out#documents
The 2025-2026 FAFSA will open on Dec 1st. There are some things that you can be doing now to be prepared when it opens. The first is all students need to create an account. Parents also need an account, but if you have one from a previous child, then you use that account. Parents DO NOT make more than one account.
