Dear Berthold and NSP Families,

The Berthold Girls Basketball Team has qualified for the State Basketball Tournament, which will be held March 5–7 in Minot. We are extremely proud of our student-athletes and coaches on this outstanding accomplishment.

The girls' first game is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. on Thursday. We will have a full day of school on Thursday. Plans for a pep rally and team send-off will be shared later today.

Friday’s school schedule will be determined by the game time:
- If the girls play at 2:45 p.m. on Friday, BOTH Berthold and NSP schools will dismiss at 12:30 p.m.
- If the girls play at 8:15 p.m. on Friday, we will have a full day of school.

We appreciate your flexibility as we support the girls at the state tournament. If you have any questions regarding this week’s school schedule, please contact me at marc.ritteman1@k12.nd.us.

Sincerely,

Marc Ritteman

As of this morning, Laurie shared that there are 92 people signed up for the Gary Gathman Memorial Blood Drive on March 17 — that's awesome! Let's try to reach 125 donors and set a new record. We’re close, but we need your help to get there. If you would like to participate, please call Laurie or Andy to add your name to the list. Thank you for helping us honor Gary’s legacy and support this important cause.
