The big game may be over, but the Buffalo Elementary School Student Council "Soup-er Bowl" project is still giving back to the community. BES students had a food drive leading up to the Super Bowl, and the end result was incredible! The school plans to keep the blessing boxes in the BES community stocked with the food they collected. Great job, Bisons!

8th grade students at Fort Gay PK8 had a great time last week participating in the Department of Treasury's "Get A Life" budget simulation program. Students had to navigate their budget to buy a house, car, utilities, insurance and much more. They learned about the importance of how higher education can help them earn more money in future careers. Great job, Vikings!
