Kidder County School District #1

The third graders had "Fun with Friends" when given a St. Patrick's Day STEM challenge!!! Each third grader was to plan, design, and create a tower high enough to hold a Leprechaun's Gold, and keep it safe!!! We tested each tower by dropping pennies into the cup of the tower, to see how strong it was!!! Boy, were they strong!!! Our last 3 towers still standing held 300 pennies!!! This was some amazing fun for all!!!

Wolves Boys Region Tourney Game Day! Winner moves on to the State Qualifier Game in Fargo on Saturday! Come out and support our boys!

We are incredibly proud to share that Breanah Pfaff has been chosen as the North Dakota Petroleum Foundation Teen of the Week! 🎉

The March 4 headline in the Bismarck Tribune says it best: “Senior serves up success for herself, teammates.”

Breanah, the daughter of Michell Pfaff and the late Keith Pfaff, has grown into a true leader. As she shared in the article, leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice — it’s about showing up every day with energy, positivity, and being someone teammates can rely on. She leads by example through hard work, attitude, and lifting others up.

Even through personal hardships, Breanah has remained focused, kind, and determined — something her counselor described perfectly when she wrote that Breanah “brings light into a room.”

We are so proud of Breanah and the strong, kind person she is.

Read the full story in the March 4 edition of the Bismarck Tribune to learn more about her journey and leadership.
