Second grade got to visit the Fraine Barracks to see State Radio. Officer Tommy set this up as part of his D.A.R.E. program. The kids got to see where 911 calls are taken, where they meet to deal with emergencies, they got to meet Smokey the Bear, sit in patrol cars, see an ambulance in person, shoot water for the Forest Service trucks, and drive a rescue robot! It was an amazing day!

Summer EBT Program: In summer 2024, North Dakota will launch Summer EBT, a new grocery benefits program that provides families $120 for each eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out. Summer is a time when many children lose the free and reduced-price meals they get at school, and when households might need a little extra help putting meals on the table. Most families will get these benefits automatically, but some parents will need to apply. For more information, go to: https://ndsummerebt.nd.gov/

Reminder that the School will have an informational meeting on our work-based learning program at 7:00PM tonight in the new Ag. Ed. classroom. The goal of this meeting is to provide an overview of our WBL program and to create work-based opportunities for our students for the 2024-2025 school year. If you are unable to attend but MAY be interested in hosting a student in your workplace, providing job shadow experiences, or just have questions about the program, please fill out the following survey: https://forms.gle/YoYA1usS9n8qJiaZ8 Brian.Christopherson@k12.nd.us or call the school at 843-7610.
