Our seniors got their hands dirty this morning, learning how to change a tire, check fluids, and do basic car maintenance. Big thanks to the community members who came out to share their knowledge -- these are skills our students will use for years to come!

USD 408 Community,

I am asking for your help before and after school to watch out for the crosswalks that our students use to cross Main St. We have many students who walk to school and use those to be safe from traffic. The issue has been that very few vehicles are stopping for our students, especially for our little elementary students. I am asking to please let others know, be aware of who is crossing Main St. and to slow down driving just to be safe. Thank you for you time and support!

Sincerely,

Justin Wasmuth
USD 408 Superintendent
