Congratulations to Daisy and Sophie Sparrow on being named to the All Sub-Region Team! Way to go ladies!!
Good afternoon,
We wanted to make everyone aware of a summer training opportunity available to anyone that would be interested. This program was created to provide a free of charge opportunity for individuals to receive hands-on classroom and bus inspection with some driving experience.
Positions available are extremely flexible. They include: individuals interested in driving to and from our communities for practices, games, field trips and substitute bus route drivers. Pay is extremely competitive at $18.00 per hour from the time you leave Turtle Lake to the time when you get back to Turtle Lake. For example, you will receive $18 per hour to drive to and from the event along with an additional $18 per hour to attend and enjoy the contest. (A contest at Flasher = $54.00 for driving + an additional $54.00 ($108.00) to watch a JV/Varsity basketball game.
The Central McLean Co-op is offering a North Dakota Safety Council 4-hour permit training class and a 4-hour hands on training with the buses. The class will be held on Monday, June 21st from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm at the Underwood School. A stipend will be provided to all individuals who attend the class and receive their bus driving endorsement on their license.
Our communities are struggling to find enough individuals to drive to all of our practices and events.
We urge individuals to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to get paid to watch our students compete. Please consider being a bus driver to allow our students to continue to compete in the activities they love.
To sign up, please contact Sheila Schlafmann at the TL-M School at 448-2365. Thank you.
We ended the year by having a little fun with the 6th graders after they beat the staff in the annual 6th grade vs. staff kickball game yesterday! We surprised them with a water fight on the last day!

At the Monday, May 17th board meeting, the TL-M board voted to make masking a RECOMMENDATION, not a requirement. The change is effective immediately.
