Huge things happening with our students in the area of leadership this summer! Claire Donlan took four days this June to attend the HOBY Conference hosted at Dakota State University. The HOBY event is for HS Sophomores where students participate in leadership workshops, team-building activities, service projects, discussions with community leaders, and networking with students from across South Dakota. Great work Claire!
🐻 BearCare has been having a summer full of fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories!
Our Marion BearCare students have been busy exploring and participating in exciting activities around the community. They traveled to the Freeman Community Center for Dino Bingo and a fun dinosaur science experiment using baking soda, food coloring, and vinegar! 🦖🧪
The fun continued with a fishing trip to the Arboretum, where one lucky student caught the first BearCare fish of the summer! 🎣🐟
BearCare students also enjoyed a visit to the Parker Library, where they got creative and built amazing Lego creations. 📚🧱
We love seeing our BearCare students learning, exploring, and making memories all summer long! 🐻
