Heap of the Week #7
By Brody Jackson and Noah Hart
We had the pleasure of interviewing Benjamin Tentinger about his truck. Tentinger owns a single cab 2003 Chevy GMC. He received this heap about a year ago. Tentinger’s favorite part about his vehicle is the single cab because then he doesn’t have to clean out an entire vehicle. Tentinger named his car “Blueberry.” His vehicle was named this because of its blue color. When we asked Tentinger what his favorite memory was with his car, he replied, “Driving to Okoboji with his friends over the summer.”
Girls Basketball 2024 Season
By Andrea Torhus
The week at MMCRU High School basketball season has begun. The girl’s basketball team started practicing last week, and practices have been everyday after school. Audrey Etter is a senior at MMCRU High School and is also on the varsity basketball team. She started playing basketball at the age of 10. When asked what her favorite thing about basketball season is, she replied, “Being able to play with the team and having team bonding.” Etter is most excited to see what the team can do and how far they will make it. If she could change one thing about basketball in general, she would remove the foul out rule because she believes the rule doesn’t really matter.
MMCRU High School Pods
By Haydn Aduddell
As part of the 2023 renovation of the MMCRU High School, several new social and working spaces have been installed throughout the school’s north hallway. They are open spaces separate from any classroom. There are a few similar installations near the school’s south entrance as well. These new ‘pods,’ as they are commonly called, contain many of the standards of a typical living space: tables, couches or series of chairs, electrical outlets, and controllable lighting. The tables and seats come in many different shapes and sizes, with some chairs reclining or rolling on wheels, and tables ranging from small, personal desks to large, circular tables for groups. The new ‘pods’ have proven to be successful in providing a comfortable place to work or socialize for students working on group projects, staying before or after school, or who have a free period during the school day. When I asked Brielle Lux what she thought about this space, she replied, “It is a great, quiet place to focus and learn.”
Butter Braid Fundraiser
By Hunter Lesline
Butter Braids is a fundraiser that is held by the seniors at MMCRU High School. The seniors are given the choice to participate with their class to raise enough money to go on the yearly senior trip to Minnesota. 19 of 49 students participated in the fundraiser, and the senior class sold a record number of Butter Braids, selling over 600 and raising between $5,000 and $7,000 in regards to their trip. With the help of Mrs. Kelly Peters, the senior class gets to make one more big memory before graduating. That is what is so special about the people here at MMCRU. They go out of their way to help with anything they can, and this happened to be one more class memory.
