Mr. Speicher’s 7th grade US History class took advantage of the beautiful day and participated in an activity about the explorers Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery Expedition. Their exploration ended in our renovated outdoor classroom.

Here at Battle Lake Schools we see the word FAIL as our First Attempt In Learning.
The Battle Lake FFA Chapter has worked hard over the summer to grow pumpkins. We have grown all sorts of different pumpkins as well as a couple of types of Squash. The pumpkins are currently being sold in the parking lot of Sinclair for all to enjoy!
Thanks to Officer Kortlever and all our Busing Staff. Today they collaboratively prepared our students for success on and off the bus.
You should be here!
