Construction Ag Class Chicken Coop Project Surplused and Up for Auction
This year’s Construction Ag class successfully designed and built a chicken coop as part of their hands-on learning experience. At the May 12, 2025 school board meeting, the board officially declared the chicken coop as surplus property.
The coop will be sold at the upcoming Wieman Land & Auction Consignment Auction on June 10, 2025, and is listed as Lot #: 4346.
We’re proud of the hard work and craftsmanship our students put into this project, and we look forward to seeing it find a new home!

Menu for the week of April 14th
You may have heard the rumors, and if so, yes, they're true. Donkey basketball will be returning to Canistota after a one-year hiatus. This is a fun-filled event for all ages. Teams from surrounding schools will compete against each other to win the coveted championship. All funds raised will be going to Canistota FBLA and FCCLA students who are attending National Leadership Conferences. There will be a free-will donation meal. Also, there will be free donkey rides for the young kids in between games. Advanced tickets are $9 and can be purchased at each participating school's main office. Tickets on the day of the event are $13. This is an event that you can't miss!
Menu for the week of April 7th
Callen Taylor and Tate Kunkel were able to make it to the podium this weekend at the South Dakota AAU wrestling tournament. Callen captured 7th place going 3-2 on the weekend while Tate went 2-3 and took home 8th place. That’s a wrap on the AAU wrestling season. If you see these proud kiddos please congratulate them on their fantastic achievement. What an experience for everyone!!
