The Northwoods Storm made a strong showing at last week's Northern Lakes Conference Cross Country Meet!
Three high school boys earned All-Conference honors by finishing in the top seven:
Jaxon Courts, Niagara sophomore - 2nd place
Zane Phillips, Niagara junior - 4th place
Carson Chrisman, Florence junior - 7th place
The boys tied for FIRST overall! The meet's tiebreaker rules put them in second place in the official standings.
Ina Holt, a Niagara senior, finished 3rd in the girls division, also earning All-Conference honors!
Corinne Lukach, a Florence 7th grader, placed 4th overall in the middle school girls division, earning conference recognition with her top-five finish!
We're proud of all our middle school runners for their hard work and determination.
Congratulations to all our runners on a great day representing the Northwoods Storm!

Thank you to every student who tried something new and every staff member who made it happen.
Save this for next year’s show.

Before your child ever sits down to eat, our cafeteria team has already planned the menu, prepped

This week, we're celebrating National School Lunch week with Cafeteria Circus: new decorations themed menus, and a whole lot of reasons to actually look forward to lunch. Same great meals, just a lot more fun finding out what's on the menu.
This is what it looks like when lunch becomes something to talk about at pick up.

A huge thank you to Florence County Fire & EMS for providing an engaging and educational day on October 6th for all of our Florence Elementary Bobcats in grades 4K–6th! ❤️💛
Our students learned about fire prevention, participated in a fun and interactive game, and had the opportunity to explore our fire trucks and ask questions. What a wonderful way to make fire safety learning fun, meaningful, and memorable!
We are so grateful for our local firefighters and EMS professionals who take the time to educate our students and help keep our community safe. Thank you for all you do for our little Bobcats and the Florence community! 🐾🚒

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Sorry for the confusion. This message has clarification regarding Homecoming activities.
We are pleased to share that local law enforcement has completed a full sweep of our Middle/High School building and has confirmed that the facility is clear and safe.
As you may be aware, similar threats were reported across the state today. Our students and staff have been safely bussed back to the school building.
We understand that this has been a long process for our students and staff, but student and staff safety is our number one priority.
Cell Phone Policy Exception: To allow families to connect and check in, an exception to our cell phone policy will be made for the remainder of this afternoon. Your student will be permitted to communicate with you directly via their phone.
We deeply appreciate law enforcement’s swift response and our community’s support and patience throughout the day. If you have any remaining questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the main office.
The Homecoming Parade is postponed. More information about this being rescheduled will come in the following days. The Homecoming dance is still scheduled for tomorrow as normal. The rest of the festivities which the students missed out on today will also be announced for rescheduling in the following days.
Sincerely,
Christy Larson, Superintendent of Schools
School District of Florence County
We are writing to provide a quick update regarding this morning's bomb threat incident.
Please be assured that all students and staff remain safe, fully accounted for, and in good spirits.
At this time, we are awaiting final authorization from local law enforcement to begin our formal student reunification process. We are working closely with emergency management officials to ensure that student release and pickup are handled safely, smoothly, and efficiently.
We will send another message as soon as law enforcement clears the process, including specific instructions on where and how to pick up your child.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our school community.
Sincerely,
Christy Larson
Superintendent
