The Town ‘N Kountry Kids Red Group 4-H Club helped to celebrate American Education Week in the area schools last week.  Club members wrote personal notes to teachers and staff, and also made up a gift of M&M’s with a card attached that had sayings like “Your Work is Motivating & Meaningful” and “You Are Marvelous & Magnificent” with points about patience, inspiration, sunshine and smiles, warmth and caring and hearts. Each teacher/staff member at Woonsocket School as well as some teachers at Sanborn Central and Wessington Springs received a note and gift. The club also provided a treat of brownies in the staff breakrooms at Woonsocket School.

On Saturday, Nov. 23, the annual SHE Awards event was held at the Huron Convention Center. The event is held to honor extraordinary women living in and around the Huron community. This year’s event recognized three nominees committed to the betterment of their communities, Brooke King, Emilie Lindgren and Alexa Goertz.

Brooke King, of Letcher and Special Education Director for Woonsocket School, was named a nominee in the Unsung Hero category for her dedication to helping special education students who might otherwise fall through the cracks achieve their highest potential.

Emilie Lindgren and Alexa Goertz, seniors at Woonsocket High School, were nominees of the inaugural Rising Star Scholarship category. Lindgren and Goertz were recognized for their service and spirit in making a difference in their communities.

For what has become an annual event, Woonsocket’s third grade teacher, Mrs. Jessica Bruce, invited guests to come to her classroom to help her students in a sewing project. Six women joined the class on Wednesday, Nov. 20 to help teach the students the art of hand stitching. It just so happened that the students were learning the skill to make their Christmas tree ornaments for the tree they will be putting up at the Sanborn County Courthouse, so they were actually getting two things checked off their list.
