Notes for the Week - March 12th

From the Downsville Community Museum Facebook page.

The feature wall at the Museum this year is the history of the Downsville Schools. We are compiling pictures, stories and history to put on a slide show and printed copies in a book for you to look at. We are looking for your help. Do you have student or class pictures (please include the names of the students if possible), stories or history information you would like to share? We will scan any pictures and return as requested. Please contact any of the Museum committee members with your items. We will have the display ready for our opening on May 23 with our Annual Pancake Breakfast and continue throughout the summer. We'll be adding to our display as we get more pictures, so start looking through your photo boxes.

This was shared on Facebook this week.

This year's 2026 March Madness will have Menomonie ties. Tonight, MHS Class of 2022 Alumni Noah Fedderson and his North Dakota State Bison teammates won the Summit League Championship, which gives the champion an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. Noah hit a dagger 3-pointer with under a minute to go to help seal the win!

When picking your brackets this year, keep North Dakota State in mind. Go Bison!
