The South Central Community Foundation has awarded Smoky Hills PBS with a grant for $1,600.
The grant will support the literacy initiative program of Smoky Hills PBS, which will provide books for children in public preschools in Rice and Stafford Counties.
“Smoky Hills PBS wants to say thank you to the South Central Community Foundation (SCCF) for their recent support, said Haley Gagnon, Special Events Coordinator of Smoky Hills PBS. As COVID-19 continues to disrupt education, Smoky Hills PBS is working to ensure that children have the educational resources they need at home, and with the support from SCCF we can do that for the young learners in Rice and Stafford Counties.
With the USD Wellness Center moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of it’s COVID-19 opening protocols, boot camps and fitness classes are able to return.
Dottie Kerkman, Fitness and Special Events Coordinator at the Wellness Center, is one of the trainers running the boot camp fitness program that started this week. Kerkman said that the boot camp is a great opportunity to get back in shape following COVID-19 lockdowns.
“The boot camp is a specialty program we offer here at the Wellness Center, even members have to pay,” Kerkman said. “They do get a reduced rate on those. It is a six week program, that usually runs three days a week.”
