K01 learned that learning can be messy and frustrating. We worked together to complete this challenging task and it was very rewarding!
A new group "M.O.V.E" (Men of Value & Education) has been formed at RF/CC! Please consider volunteering to be a man of value and education in our school. Having a strong male role model in our building can make a huge difference in many students lives. M.O.V.E allows father figures to be visible in our building during the school day and show their support for learning. It's often the norm that mothers are more involved in the education experience than fathers and M.O. V. E. allows us to change that or bridge the gap. You will get an opportunity to be with your student in their classroom as well as help in other classrooms or areas throughout the day. Dads, please feel free to reach out to our school counselor, Sonja Smith through email if you'd like to sign up. Sonja.m.Smith@k12.sd.us
