Congratulations to our Varsity Softball Team - this Lady Dutchmen Team won their first game last night 13-1 against Sauk Centre! Nice job, team! #DutchmenPride


Today is Minnesota's State Tornado Drill. Sirens will sound at 1:45 pm and at 6:45 pm. Students at Melrose Area Schools will take part in the drill at 1:45 pm. Please talk with your families about how to stay safe in tornados.


Reminder: Today there is a second tornado drill at 6:45pm. This is part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, and the goal of the drills is to get people thinking about where they can find shelter when there are severe thunderstorms — and possibly tornadoes — throughout the rest of the year. Be safe! #DutchmenPride
