The Kids Teaching Kids program took place last week at Eagle Valley Elementary. It is a peer teaching program dealing with the “dangers of alcohol, drugs and driving”. The sixth graders at Eagle Valley divided into groups and were assigned classes from kindergarten through sixth grade. They prepare and practice four lessons to present to the class. The program has been around since 1984. Funding comes from the Department of Transportation. The peer teachers enjoy going into other classrooms and learning from their lessons.

Following nearly five years of hard work involving countless hours by hundreds of dedicated people, volumes of paperwork, hundreds of miles traveled to attend meetings, many prayers and a never failing determination to provide a care facility for those elderly in need to be located in their own community, the citizens of Central Todd County were finally given the go ahead to build the nursing home they have so long dreamed of and worked so hard for.
