Our 10th and 11th graders attended Reality Check in Tolna this week. The event is fully organized by the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Tolna. It gives students a unique way to explore a career through the lens of financial planning and smart decision making.
Students were shocked at the cost of daycare and groceries. They also learned how quickly student loan interest can double what you owe and make it difficult to buy a home. This experience helped them think about ways to cut costs such as attending a 2 year college, joining the National Guard, or becoming an RA on campus with free housing and a meal plan.
Thank you to the bank staff and community volunteers for sharing your time and talents with our students.

American Education Week celebrates public education and those who play a vital role in supporting students and families. We are very thankful to each and every staff member at Dakota Prairie.
Happy American Education Week!
Our 8th grade students went to the T4 Career Expo last week. Students enjoyed learning about many different careers and took part in hands-on activities connected to each one. Running an excavator simulator, putting together an oil pipeline, learning how soil sampling works, and making a keychain were just some of the activities they experienced. It was a great day of learning and exploration for our students.
A small group of junior and senior girls spent the day in Park River exploring rural career options!
Six girls shadowed a variety of roles at First Care Hospital, where they observed everything from mixing chemo bags to viewing X-rays, assisting with ultrasounds, running the CT scanner, and seeing nursing and PT/OT in action.
Jassy explored her interest in teaching by visiting a larger rural school, shadowing reading groups, preschool, and upper-elementary math, though 1st and 2nd grade stole her heart.
Lily visited Golden Valley Vet, watched lab work and surgeries, and left even more certain she wants to become a large-animal veterinarian.
Such an awesome day of hands-on learning!

Four juniors toured the programs at Northland in EGF recently. Northland offers programs at their EGF and Thief River locations. If you haven't been to their campus in awhile, you'll be blown away at their improvements to their facility and connections to local employers.
