As everyone knows February 14th is Valentines Day. And in celebration of the holiday the Maddock Junior class is throwing a Valentines Day dance on February 15th. It will be held at the Maddock gym after the boys basketball game. The dance will officially start at 9:30 p.m. and will go to midnight. It will cost $3 for a single person to get in and $5 for every couple.

This is an outrage. i really hope that this PrivatePurpose building is actually going to keep kids entertained. it’s pretty much the only thing in this town that is actually useful to kids. if you’re bored, you can go there and have fun shooting baskets, petting the cows, or rolling around on a nice big open area out of the twenty below weather. that is if you have a keycode. but, like everything, all good things must come to an end, as has the pleasure of riding your rollerblades or skateboard. on the front door, there has recently been a sign placed that says NO ROLLERBLADING OR SKATEBOARDING. so i hope that everybody in this town loves basketball since that’s all you’re going to be doing in there.

Because of the cold weather and unceasing snow, Maddock Public School ended school early on wednesday and started an hour late on thursday. Many after school activities were postponed as well. One Maddock citizen said, “Wow!” No one else was available for comment at the time.

February has been selected as Reading Month in North Dakota. Special Activites centered around the the “Natural Disasters” will be held all month at Maddock School. The goal is to teach students the about the 12 natural disasters that can happen throughout their lifetimes. There will be color days selected for each day to help the children relate to each natural disaster. And on February 29 in celebration of Reading Month the children will get to watch The Wizard of Oz.

Everyone is encouraged to read during reading month, children and adults alike. So during the month of February try to take some time to pick up a book and read it!

If anyone has chance driven through the Maddock School east parking lot lately, they might of noticed a certain item that was out of place. That item: the light pole right before the start of the parking lot. The pole was knocked over durning an incident whose culprit will go unnamed for now (though many already know who did it). If you are curious to who done it, just go ahead and pick yourself up a Maddock Pawprints Newspaper. More information is provided on the back page.

On thursday there will be a boys basketball game vs. Four Winds.  Hopefully you will be able to make it and watch a good game of basketball, and as always, the Maddock Pep Band will be playing the pre-game and halftime of the A Squad game.  Come out and enjoy some good food, treats, great music, and a good game.
