The “Good News Call” today goes out to Braxton Sohler. Braxton asks to help me with big and small tasks every day. He notices little things I need help with and watches for opportunities to assist me and others. His teacher notices that he is always willing to help her and his classmates with tasks that need to be done in his Kindergarten classroom. He sees someone who needs help, and he happily offers to help them. He is truly an example of our December Shout Out, "Helpful Hands". Thanks for being a great helper, Braxton!

On Wednesday, a group of Platte-Geddes High School students attended a Scrubs Camp in Chamberlain. Scrubs Camp is destined to give hands on experience to students contemplating a career in healthcare.
Students heard from a variety to healthcare professionals who discussed what they do and how they get into their professions. Students also had the chance to experience many hands-on activities throughout the day… all in an effort to build and sustain South Dakota’s future healthcare workforce!
