Pack feeds those near and far

Today is the Kids Against Hunger pack. This will be the 13th pack in the area and, after missing last year’s due to COVID, we’re happy to see it’s back. It’s expected that 100,000 meals will be packed today by local volunteers. Most of those meals will go to Haiti, but some will be dispersed at local food shelves and feed our own community members. This is such an important event and we want to extend a big thanks to everyone who makes it possible.

GHEC board hears of new curriculum

The Granada-Huntley-East Chain school board heard from a faculty members this week about a new curriculum that supports social and emotional learning. The hope is that this curriculum will not even be used in the classroom, but that parents will learn about it at home, too. It sounds like this program is teaching students a good skill set.

Team dances its way to success

The Fairmont High School Dance Team has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2016. The dance team not only performs at home half-time games, but takes part in its own competitions across the region. It’s great to see that the program has been growing and improving over its six years and we’re excited to see what the next few years bring for the team.
