Our Spanish II students recently wrapped up the international music bracket competition, Locura de Marzo. We joined over 1,300 schools around the world! 🎶🌎 In this competition, students listened to songs from the Spanish-speaking world, with two songs going head-to-head each day as students worldwide voted for their favorites.
Our students created their own brackets to predict the winners and learned to express their opinions about the songs in Spanish. They also explored the artists’ backgrounds, their home countries, and even learned some of the lyrics! It was a fun and immersive way to engage with music and culture. 🇪🇸🎤🎶
Our Turtle Lake Spanish II winner this year was Mylee Pittman—¡Felicidades!

Turtle Lake School District has been lucky to have Mr. Kent Kindschy in the district for the past 13 years! 💛❤️ Every quarter, Mr. Kindschy hosts “Walk-A-Mile,” where he randomly draws a staff member and takes over their job for the day!
Last week, he stepped into Ms. Candace Hassle’s role as a paraprofessional in the 4K classroom with Mrs. Hoffman. He spent the day with the 4K students and even joined them on a jungle hunt using binoculars they made! 🌿🤩
We would like to thank our incredible superintendent, Mr. Kindschy, for his dedication to leadership and positivity within the Turtle Lake School District. His willingness to connect with students and staff in such a fun and meaningful way is truly appreciated by our school community! 💛🐢❤️
