Turtle Lake-Mercer

Congratulations to Lily Christensen and Sienna Britton for being selected to participate in the 48th Annual Northwest Festival of Music! They are participating in the Nova Choir this weekend at Minot State University. Way to represent our school girls!

Mrs. Laib's English 9 students are creating original games based on the short story, The Most Dangerous Game. Students are to decide how to play the game, must create the game board or cards, and must have questions or challenges relating to the story as part of the game. Once they create the game, they must write out the instructions for playing the game. We will be going through various stages, from playing games for inspiration or ideas to testing their own games.

Tomorrow, November 6, is our next Enrichment and Intervention (E&I) Day. If your student would benefit from some extra time in a small group or even one-on-one setting with the teacher, this is a great opportunity to sign up for. Use the following link to sign up for extra time with a teacher: https://www.tlm.k12.nd.us/forms/15629

We will also be having the Trojan Power Hour for Volleyball hosted by Mrs. Philbrick from 1:30 - 2:30. This event is open to all students.

Here's what's coming up next at TL-M!

A BIG shout-out to our principal, Mr. Ziebarth! Congratulations on being nominated for Region 2 principal of the year! This recognition is well deserved. Thank you for all you do to make a difference each and every day at TL-M School and for continuing to live out our motto, "Making It Count!"

Happy Halloween from TL-M!🎃

Mrs. Jacobs took 11 kids to the FCCLA District Leadership meeting in Minot on Thursday. We listened to a speaker and participated in activities such as rock painting, making bracelets, and even got to hang out with Dennis the service dog. Kensley was also inducted as our chapters President!

2nd grade did a math trick or treat today 🎃, visiting 6 different staff members! They were posed with a math question at each stop and had to answer it correctly before getting their treat! Questions to ask: Who did you all visit? What were the math questions like?

Yesterday, our students came together for our first Turtle Talk activity of the school year! 💛🖤 Students spent time rock painting, getting creative, and connecting with one another. Turtle Talks are all about building relationships, strengthening connections across grade levels, and creating a sense of belonging throughout our school. What better way to kick off the year than with a little creativity and time together? We’re excited to keep these connections going throughout the year!

TL-M has their very own signed copy of The Hoopster in our library! Our 2026 Central McLean boys' basketball team is on the front cover!
