It’s always a great day when it’s Buddy Day! Students had a blast enjoying giant popsicles, creating special projects for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, and making colorful May Day baskets. And when there was a bit of a wait? They danced it out! A huge thank you to all the students and staff for making this such a fun and memorable day!
HANSEL AND GRETEL Performance
Extra! Extra! Big news from the Wildwood! The mystery is solved! Hansel and Gretel return safely from their perilous adventure deep in the woods and bring with them the age-old secret of the Wildwood Witch! Don’t miss a moment as the truth is revealed. It’s amazing. It’s shocking. And, it’s very very funny!
The local cast features local K-6 students as Hansel and as Gretel, their Granny, the Wildwood Witch, her loyal Cooks, the modern-day campers – somehow lost in time in the woods. The Rascals are played by older students while the wonderfully mythical Wallybirds are played by younger students. Older students have also served as assistant directors throughout the week.
HANSEL AND GRETEL will be presented at 7:00 PM on May 2, 2025, at the Wishek School Gymnasium. It is a free will donation to attend at the door. Popcorn, candy and water will be available for concessions during intermission of the show.

Wishek Public School is proud to recognize two of our seniors, Treyton Ruenz and Kiarra Opsahl, for receiving their North Dakota State FFA degree. This is the highest honor that the state of North Dakota can award FFA members and is reserved for members that have shown incredible dedication and service to the FFA. Of the 8,000 FFA members across the state, only 145 were selected this year to receive this honor. In other words, only about 2% of members are able to achieve this milestone. Kiarra currently serves as the chapter president and Treyton currently serves as our chapter reporter. Congratulations Kiarra and Treyton! We are proud of you for representing us at the highest level!

2023-2024 yearbooks have arrived. We will be distributing these during the next few days. We will be sending them home with students if possible. Other orders we will be in contact to make arrangements for pick up.
Congratulations to our final Treasure Chest winner - Teall Kuntz!
The Book Blast is going strong as we approach these last few days of the event. It’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your prizes, and help your child’s teacher earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If ALL the classroom students invite 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree.
