90 Lidgerwood students still displaced after fire

LIDGERWOOD, N.D. (AP) - Lidgerwood students in grades 7 through

12 who were displaced by a November fire might not be back in their

school until the end of February.

Principal Wayne Hinrichs says that renovation work

in the heavily damaged building is ongoing. About 90 students

continue to attend classes in temporary quarters in Lidgerwood and

nearby Wyndmere.

The school's elementary wing had less severe damage.

Grade-school students returned to classes there last month.

Authorities say an unused stove in a classroom sparked the Nov.

9 blaze in the school in the southeast North Dakota town.
