Cass Lake-Bena Public Schools - #CLBSPANTHERS

🏀🐾 Basketball Banquet Recap 🐾🏀 Last night we celebrated our Girls and Boys Basketball teams at the annual banquet, and it was a great way to recognize the hard work put in throughout the season. There were a number of awards presented, highlighting the effort, growth, and commitment of our student-athletes. It was a strong reminder of the pride and tradition within our Panther basketball programs. A big thank you to our coaching staff for organizing the event and for the time and dedication they give to our athletes all season long. Proud of our Panthers. 🐾 #PantherPride #CLBAthletics #GoPanthers

9th grade students who passed all of their trimester two classes and had zero behavior referrals took a rewards field trip to the bowling alley! Students played games at the arcade, ate some snacks, and bowled with their friends. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. Keep up the great work, 9th graders!

BOGO Book Fair is coming May 4th through the 8th. Stay tuned for more details.
