ND CEL Summer Conference Update!
This week, Mr. Sheggerud and I had the opportunity to attend the North Dakota Council for Educational Leaders Summer Conference. It was a great chance to connect with other school leaders from across the state, share ideas, and gather inspiration for the upcoming school year.
We also learned about some valuable state-level resources that will support our students and staff. We’re excited to bring this information back to our district and put it into action as we continue planning for an amazing 2025–2026 school year!

Fessenden-Bowdon School has updated job openings for the 2025–2026 school year!
