🍽️ What’s on Your Plate? More Than You Might Think!

Our English 12 and Advanced English 10 students took a closer look at how they spend their time in a lesson called “What’s on Your Plate?”

Students evaluated their daily schedules and created visual “plates” to show how they balance school, work, homework, activities, sports, and everything else that fills their 24 hours.

They also created written caricatures that depicted how others perceive them compared to what is really happening in their lives.

It’s a powerful reminder that there is often much more on a student’s plate than meets the eye. The hard work, responsibilities, and effort our students put in every day deserve to be recognized!

A message from Ms. Schultz, "Good, hard work, O-F students. You will change the world!" 🧡🖤

4th Grade cartographers (map makers) have been busy studying the beautiful regions that make up the United States!

Students read about the climate and landforms that make each region unique and created maps with key details of each. We are so lucky to live in such a varied and unique country, and even luckier to teach such creative, curious, and dedicated students!

🎃 Treats No Tricks! 🧡🖤

Our Osseo-Fairchild FBLA members celebrated Halloween by giving back to our community! Using funds they raised throughout the year, students purchased and assembled free lunch bags for individuals in need and spent their lunch period delivering them door to door.

We're proud of these students for showing that Halloween isn't just about getting treats—it's about spreading kindness, too! 👻❤️

Happy November! 🍂 As the school year gets busier and the holidays get closer, it’s a good time to slow down, take a breath, and show our bodies a little extra appreciation. 🧡

As we head into Thanksgiving break, our kids deserve a little extra support, too! With the added stress and busyness of the holiday season, chiropractic care can help support their nervous systems, allowing them to better adapt to everyday challenges, move well, and feel their best. Here’s to grateful hearts, healthy bodies, and a little extra care for our kids this season! 🦃

Well Adjusted Students is available right here at Osseo-Fairchild…no extra trip needed! We come to your school so your student doesn’t have to miss more time than necessary.

👉 Interested in starting chiropractic care for your child? Text us at 715-382-6864 for more information!

Exploring Careers in the Building Trades!

Osseo-Fairchild students took advantage of an in-service day to explore career opportunities in the skilled trades!

Our MC3 (Pre-Apprentice Building Trades) students spent the day job shadowing at Market & Johnson and the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC). Students had the opportunity to learn from industry professionals, see the trades in action, and work alongside apprentices in a hands-on lab experience.

These experiences help students discover their interests, develop career skills, and determine whether a career in the skilled trades is the right fit for them.

It was also great to reconnect with 2025 Osseo-Fairchild graduate Matt Webb at BAC! Matt is now a second-year apprentice and works at Market & Johnson. It's exciting to see our graduates putting their skills to work and building their futures in the trades!

A big THANK YOU to Market & Johnson, BAC, CESA 10, WRPT (Big Steps) and everyone who took time out of their day to share their knowledge and support our students. Partnerships like these help connect classroom learning with real-world career opportunities!
