Mrs. Mibeck's applied science class has been learning about many different science concepts as they related to cooking. Their skills were put to the test today in a "Chopped" challenge. Dawson Redding, Caleb Knutson, and Ryan Schoemer each received an egg, bread crumbs, and chicken thighs. They had to use all three ingredients to prepare a meal in 35 minutes. They were allowed to use any additional ingredients, but had to use all three "required" ingredients, just as the participants do in the TV show "Chopped". The judges for the contest agreed that all three participants made delicious chicken, but the sides on Ryan's dish pushed him over the edge to claim the championship. Caleb's dish "Chicken and Eggs" Dawson's Dish "Chicken Zest" Ryan's Dish "The Crunch"

BND HOSTING FAFSA WORKSHOPS FOR FAMILIES To help students and their families navigate through the process of completing the FAFSA and know what to expect afterward, Bank of North Dakota is offering a free series of virtual meetings. These 60-minute sessions will be conversational, so they can ask questions as they arise. To register for each session, parents and students can go to bnd.nd.gov/fafsa. If they are unable to join a session live, they should still register to receive a link with the recording. In addition to this virtual series, BND also offers in-person and virtual FAFSA presentations and FSA ID workshops to schools across the state. High school administrators and counselors can make a request at bnd.nd.gov/request-a-fafsa-presentation/. The long-anticipated release of the simplified FAFSA, also known as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is coming soon. Typically, the FAFSA opens on October 1 of each year, but this year there is a delay. Federal Student Aid will open the FAFSA in December, with an official date yet to be announced. That means, any student attending college during the 2024-25 school year, will complete the new form. The FAFSA Simplification Act and Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education Act (FUTURE Act) streamlines the FAFSA, expands access to federal student aid, and allows for enhanced data sharing between Federal Student Aid and the IRS. The new form has fewer questions and includes new features that will make it simpler to complete for students and their families. Also with this update, the formulas used to qualify for aid have changed. While Federal Student Aid expects that these changes will allow more students to qualify for need based aid, like the Pell Grant, some students may not receive as much need-based aid as they have in the past. Changes in factors impacting aid eligibility include family size, number of dependents in college and reporting assets if they’re a farmer, business owner or based on their Adjusted Gross Income. Let’s get ready for the FAFSA! November 29 at 7 p.m. CT Learn what you need to prepare so you can complete the FAFSA when it goes live. You will learn about the Federal Student Aid ID, granting consent to transfer Federal Tax Information, and which information you need prior to starting the FAFSA. Walk through the FAFSA Form/ Understand parent guidelines December 20 at 7 p.m. CT It’s time to complete the FAFSA. We’ll preview the form and discuss the guidelines to determine which parent(s) need to contribute Federal Tax Information. You’ve completed the FAFSA. Now what? January 24 at 7 p.m. CT Congrats! You’ve completed the FAFSA. We’ll discuss the types of financial aid that are available and how they are outlined on your offer of financial aid.

Have a good week Honkers! Good luck to all of our athletes and coaches!
