Good afternoon, Mr. Travis Lape is the State's Director for the Educator's Rising program (a Marion Graduate!!). He is reaching out to public schools and their community asking us/you to possibly consider a donation. Educators Rising is a growing organization focused on working with students interested in pursuing a career in education! They host competitions, FREE leadership conferences, scholarships for seniors, travel scholarships for national competitors, and paid classroom experiences (Marion currently is participating in this program). Here is the message:
South Dakota Educators Rising SD is the student organization focused on growing South Dakota’s future educators—not just teachers, but also counselors, OT/PT professionals, school psychologists, social workers, bus drivers, food service staff, educational assistants, special education professionals, and future administrators.
On Tuesday, December 2nd, they have a challenge to reach 500 unique gifts. Any amount helps—even $10 (if 500 unique gifts of any amount are received, a generous donor has pledged a financial gift to the organization as well)!
Would you join me in making a gift to support this incredible organization that depends on donations like ours?
You can give either online or via Venmo, and gifts made today will still count toward the December 2nd goal.

Today our fourth graders visited the nursing home for our Adopt-a-Grandparent program, and it was such a fun afternoon! We kicked things off with an activity where students and residents tried to catch cheese balls using shower caps covered in shaving cream. There were lots of giggles, and some pretty unforgettable cheese-ball hairdos.
We also shared two Thanksgiving poems with our adopted grandparents to round out the afternoon. It was a sweet mix of fun, connection, and holiday spirit.
