To those with students who will be 7th and 8th graders next school year,
Middle school is an amazing time for students to learn about themselves and start thinking about
their future. That’s why Our Dakota Dreams, a partnership between the South Dakota Department
of Education and the South Dakota Board of Regents, is sponsoring free Career Exploration Camps
for students who will be entering 7th and 8th grade in the 202

school year.
With
six
camps being held at universities across the state, these multi-day sessions help students
explore at least ten different career paths through hands-on activities led by college faculty
members and with the guidance of counselors. Potential careers including everything from health
care and engineering to marketing, finance, and aviation.
Bingo!
The junior and senior classes attended the 17th annual Sturgis Career Fair today. The gym was filled with businesses and colleges eager to meet students. It was a great day for everyone.
The Newell School District has a strong commitment to the safety and well-being of its students and staff. As a part of our commitment, a plan has been developed to meet accountability and security expectations set forth by our district. As a part of the plan, the district has employed a deputized position with the Butte County Sheriff's Office.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Dr. Pandi Pittman.
