Mr. Thompson's Intro to Education college class was able to meet virtually with Southwest Minnesota State University professor Dr. Kandy Noles-Stevens, as well as our very own MHS 2025 alum and current SMSU student Isabelle Aho!
Dr. Kandy and Isabelle shared their experiences of being in... the education department, what to expect at college, stories from being in classrooms, and their positive impact on students.
Isabelle took this class two years ago at MHS, and is now pursuing her teaching degree on campus at SMSU. A full-circle moment, and a great example of Menahga's Career Pathways in action!

Kindergarten Gingerbread Hunt! 🍪
On Monday, December 8th, our Kindergarteners had the best time searching for their missing gingerbread men! They followed clues all the way from the kitchen to Mrs. Parrish’s office…where the sneaky treats were hiding!

Good morning Menahga families,

If you ...are uncomfortable with your student traveling to school today, please feel free to keep them home. Just contact the office to excuse the absence, and we will completely understand.

As always, safety comes first.
Thank you, and take care on the roads.

Jay Kjos, Superintendent

Girls Basketball vs. Pequot Lakes (V & JV) 11/21/25📸🧡

Last Friday, November 21st, we wrapped up our “College and Career Week,” with the final day highlighting the business career pathway.
Our high school students brought the “Mall of Menahga” to life with their mock store setups! Each PreK-6th grade student received $10 in play money to ...spend at various booths, trying out multiple activities to win fun prizes!
This hands-on event was a great way to introduce our younger students to business concepts while giving our high school students real world experience in marketing, customer service, and entrepreneurship.
Fantastic job to all the students and to Mr. Thompson who made this event a success!🧡

Menahga Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources Career Day!🌱

Students in grades K-5 participated in Menahga’s Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources Day, exploring hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity about the industries that feed and sustain our communities.
A ...special THANK YOU to Tyler Grunewald of AgCentric, who guided students in using Edison robots, (to simulate how a tractor moves through a field), a fun and accessible way to introduce young learners to innovation, problem-solving, and the exciting future of agriculture, food, and natural resource careers.
