9th grade students from Dakota Prairie attended Nelson County Health System's Scrubs Camp hosted in McVille. Students learned how CPR is important to save lives, how to stop the bleed if there is an accident, stitching up a wound, how public health's role with vaccinations is important in our everyday lives, how overdosing is handled and did an activity with the nursing home. Thank you to the healthcare staff, the students loved the day!

First-grade students recently had a special visit from Betsy Ross, portrayed by American Legion Auxiliary member Judy Twete, who brought a piece of American history to life in the classroom!

Students learned about the history of our nation’s flag and the important traditions and etiquette associated with displaying and respecting the American flag. Through Betsy’s visit, students gained an appreciation for the meaning behind our flag and the pride it represents in our country.

The excitement continued as each student received a flag to take home, thanks to the generous sponsorship of the American Legion of McVille. They were also delighted to enjoy a patriotic treat (cookies with red, white, and blue sprinkles) made by another Legion Auxiliary member, Sandy Dalburg.

We are grateful to Judy Twete, Sandy Dalburg, and the American Legion Auxiliary for taking the time to share this meaningful lesson with our young learners, and to Judy Sateren and the American Legion of McVille for making the flags possible.

It is our hope that “Flags for 1st Graders” will become an annual tradition, helping each new group of first graders learn about our nation’s flag, understand the importance of showing it respect, and develop a lasting sense of patriotism.
