Good evening Cass Lake-Bena Elementary families,
This is a reminder that our Memorial Walk will take place tomorrow. Students in grades 2 through 4 will begin walking from the Leech Lake Diabetes Center at approximately 9:00 a.m. and will walk back toward Cass Lake-Bena Elementary. Students in preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade will participate by walking at the school.
Families are welcome to attend and support students along the route.
If you choose to sign your student out during the walk, please check out directly with your student’s teacher. The adult signing the student out must be listed as an approved contact in JMC. Once a student is signed out, the student becomes the responsibility of the adult who signed them out.
If you choose to bring your student back to school after signing them out, they must be brought to the main office and checked back in.
Thank you for helping us keep students safe, accounted for, and supervised throughout the event. We are looking forward to a meaningful and positive Memorial Walk together.
Have a great evening.

🔥 Congratulations to Aaliyah Seely! 🔥
Aaliyah has officially been invited and accepted to represent Team Minnesota at the 2026 FREECO Elementary Duals National Tournament next month in Nebraska!
This is an incredible accomplishment and a true reflection of the hard work, dedication, and commitment she has shown on and off the mat. Competing at the national level against some of the best wrestlers in the country is a huge honor, and the entire Panther community is proud of her!
Good luck as you represent Team Minnesota and Northern Elite on the national stage. Keep working, keep believing, and keep competing!
Let’s go Aaliyah! 💪🤼♀️

High School Student Council took a group of students to Deep Portage in Hackensack for an overnight adventure! Students stepped out of their comfort zone as they tried archery, rock climbing, canoeing, orienteering, and axe throwing. They went hiking, climbed the look out tower, built survival shelters in the woods, learned to start a fire without matches, and played countless games of volleyball. It was a great time!
Panther Track & Field-SCHOOL RECORD ALERT
Fabian Wittner is not the only athlete to surpass a record once held by Josh Chessmore.
Sophomore Tristan Brown, brand new to track this season, has already made his mark in the high jump by clearing 5’2” and breaking a 20-year-old school record previously held by Josh Chessmore since 2006.
High Jumpers are risk takers. They don’t overthink. They just go for it. They throw themselves over the bar. That's where Tristan Brown fits in.
Tristan has a big personality, and he brings that same energy to the track and field. On the very first day of outdoor practice, he was back flipping onto the high jump mat. Spider man may be out of a job.
Tristan is getting more comfortable trusting his approach, take-off, timing, and jump.
He never sets the bar low though. Maybe…..the limbo bar.
He is competitive, fearless, and ready to go. Honestly, keeping him OFF the mat was harder than getting him over the bar. He likes trying new things, and half the time, it looks like he’s just playing around, but then he goes and jumps 5’2”.
Tristan has also made big improvements in the sprints this season:
100m: 13.65 ➝ 13.10
200m: 28.22 ➝ 27.45
FROM 5’0” TO 5’2”: SCHOOL RECORD BROKEN.
CONGRATULATIONS, TRISTAN! KEEP JUMPING TO NEW HEIGHTS!
