CHISHOLM PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Athletic/Activities Director Vake named 7A AD of the Year! I am honored and humbled to announce that I was named MNiAAA Region 7A Athletic/Activities Director of the Year for the 2024-2025 School Year. I am so thankful to my colleagues who support me in this job and for voting for me to receive this honor. Chisholm High School is very special to me. I grew up, went to school here, and graduated from Chisholm and to hold this amazing job as a graduate of the school means the world to me. Chisholm is the "Heartbeat of the Iron Range" and that Heartbeat begins with the Chisholm School District. There is nothing better than beginning and ending my day working with the students and staff in the schools as well as the amazing community that we have here in Chisholm. The businesses want nothing more than to support the students and the vision of our school. I want to send a heartfelt thank you to my colleagues for helping me with the job (this is only my 3rd year as AD), to the community for the support that you give to me and the school district on a daily basis, and to the amazing students who come and visit me each day and who truly make Chisholm High School Athletics and Activities the best in the business. Being a Chisholm Bluestreak truly means the world to me. I am so excited about the future for Chisholm and I plan to be right here, in Chisholm, MN, for decades to come! Thank you all! AD Vake

Join us on a day trip to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater for the Grease performance! The trip will take place on Saturday, May 31. There is still space available. Registration deadline is May 2nd. https://chisholm.epaytrak.com/Admin/Products/EditProduct.aspx?CategoryId=314&ProductId=4014

Registration will close on Monday for the next Driver's Training class. Don't forget to sign up! https://chisholm.epaytrak.com/Drivers-Training-P2268C314.aspx

Planning to attend the Track Meet this Saturday, please see the information below sent to us from St. Scholastica: FYI, there is NO SEATING FOR SPECTATORS, and there is not adequate room for folding chairs, so folding/camp chairs are not allowed. Spectators must watch from the upper "jogging" track, and it is standing room only. If someone comes in in an actual wheelchair, I'm confident they can find space along the railing, but everyone else will be standing to watch the meet.

The first day of Swim Club starts tomorrow! It's not too late to sign up. Register here: https://chisholm.epaytrak.com/Little-Bluestreaks-Swim-Club-P3993C314.aspx
