Refiner Basketball
Congrats to our Refiner teams for their stellar paly during the District 10C tournament in Shelby.
The Refiner boys picked up two big wins on Saturday to advance to the Northern C Divisionals in Great Falls at the Four Seasons Arena starting on Wednesday, February 25th! They beat Augusta 51-34 and won the consolation game over Power/Dutton/Brady 61-49! Coach Aschim, Coach Nagy, and the boys were super impressive and will look forward to representing NTC at Divisionals! Their team effort and competitiveness were on full display in their big wins! Lastly, congrats to Coach Aschim as he was honored by the Heart Bute Warriors and was presented a special blanket!
The Lady Refiners lost to Augusta 41-32 on Saturday evening to finish in 4th place. The Lady Refiners were gritty and played hard but came up short. Regardless, Coach Tharp, Coach Nagy, and the girls made Refiner nation proud and were playing some of their best basketball at the end of the season! The Lady Refiners represented NTC so well with their team growth, determination, and toughness. Great season Lady Refiners!

This week, as the culminating activity of our unit on persuasion and rhetoric, juniors engaged in formal debates on topics ranging from educational reform — “Should education focus more on practical skills than traditional academics?” — to global policy— “Should governments enforce stricter measures to combat climate change?” In response to these questions, students presented structured arguments, responded to claims and counterclaims, and practiced the art of civil discourse.

We are so incredibly proud of these jr. high students for stepping out of their comfort zones and trying something new! These six competed in their first National History Day Project and experienced what it's like to be a historian! They learned a lot about the historical research process and ways to improve their projects for state in April.
