Letcher

VERMILLION – The University of South Dakota announced its Academic Honors and Dean’s List to recognize more than 2,200 students for their high academic achievement during the Spring 2018 semester.

Full-time, undergraduate students are named to the Dean’s List if they received a 3.5 GPA for courses they took in the Spring 2018 semester, and they had no incomplete or failing grades. For part-time students, those with fewer than 12 credit hours, the recognition is called Academic Honors.

  Rachel Bucholz of Artesian and Allysha Duffel of Letcher were included on the list.

The Letcher Community Church held Bible School May 20-23 from 5:30-8:15 p.m. Each evening started with opening worship and theme songs led by Jessica White. The kitchen staff served approximately 80 meals to students, teachers, and helpers. Classes, recreation, and activities were held in grade level groups ranging from preschool to eighth grade. The event ended with a program at the church Wednesday evening.

About 100 people attended the Letcher American Legion Memorial Day program Monday. The speaker was Myron Sonne who as always had a great message. Buckshots provided  the caramel rolls that were served  after the program.

Special awards were presented by Auxiliary President Sandi Ruml to Melanie Ettswold for her years of dedication to the community and Fire Department. The Legion Auxiliary obtained charter in April 1953, so 65 year awards and flowers were given to the only original charter members left, Mary Ann Blindauer, Lois Evers and Sally Olson. One other founding member was unable to come and that is Dolores Stach of Wesley Acres in Mitchell. These ladies have been such wonderful supporters of the Legion and its programs.
