🧡🖤 TWO NEW FACES JOINING OUR TEAM! ⚡

Help us give a big Thunder welcome to Jeri Biesen and Maria Quick, our newest elementary paraprofessionals at Osseo-Fairchild!

⚡ Meet Ms. Biesen!
A proud Osseo-Fairchild alum, Ms. Biesen is looking forward to getting to know the students and staff at OFSD. When she’s not at school, you’ll likely find her cheering on her kids from the bleachers and sidelines — she spends more time there than at home! 🏈📣

🐾 Meet Ms. Quick!
A graduate of Altoona High School, Maria is excited to build relationships with students and staff members. Outside of school, she’s an animal lover with two dogs and four cats at home! 🐶🐱

We’re excited to have them on our team and can’t wait to see the difference they’ll make in our elementary school. Welcome to our team! 🧡🖤

We welcomed Lance Krueger, Senior Controls Engineer at Custom Fabricating & Repair, who spoke with students in our Fundamentals of Engineering, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), and Industrial Electrical Principles classes.

Following his presentation, students had the opportunity to showcase their class projects, ask questions, and learn how the skills they are developing in the classroom apply to real-world engineering, manufacturing, and industrial applications.

A big thank you to Lance and Custom Fabricating & Repair for investing in our students and helping them explore future career opportunities! These partnerships help bring learning to life and prepare our students for success beyond high school.

Exploring the Future at CVTC!

Osseo-Fairchild High School is committed to helping every student discover their passion and explore opportunities for life after high school!

Senior Blake Johnson has already taken four classes and earned 9 CVTC college credits in Engineering, Automation, and Design. Friday, with no classes scheduled, Blake took the opportunity to visit Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) and explore the Automation Engineering program as he considers his post-high school options.

A big thank-you to CVTC and the Automation Engineering program for taking the time to meet with Blake, showcase the program, and help him explore his future career possibilities!

At Osseo-Fairchild, we believe that providing students with opportunities to explore careers, earn college credits, and connect with industry professionals helps them take the next step toward a successful future.

Way to go, Blake! Keep exploring, learning, and building your future!

Our 3rd graders wrapped up their first Social Studies unit of inquiry! Students came up with their own compelling question, created 2–3 supporting questions, conducted their own research, and turned their learning into Google Slides presentations to share with their classmates.

We are so proud of their curiosity, creativity, and confidence as they became researchers and presenters!

They did an amazing job taking the lead in their learning and sharing what they discovered with others! 🌎📚
