‘And the 2018 Homecoming King is...’
SIREN––The Dragon Learning Center (DLC) is relatively new at Siren School, but it is proving to be one of the most ambitious after-school programs in the state. Last Wednesday, about 40 students sat in Siren School listening to Tristen Oustigoff give a detailed presentation on wild rice or manoomin and how it is harvested. He brought a pair of rice knockers and drew a picture. The students then went to an elementary classroom to watch a video on wild rice. Bret Iverson is the DLC Coordinator at Siren School, after 27 years of teaching, he is now in charge of this program. His desk is full of permission slips for their upcoming field trip to Forts Folle Avoine. The program is in its second year. It is a preK–12 program and is open to all students. There
Evan Cordell could not have been more surprised when the crown was placed upon his head during the coronation ceremony at Grantsburg High School on Friday afternoon. More homecoming photos on page 14.
