Garretson is joining schools across the State of South Dakota in a light campaign for the class of 2020. This Thursday 4/16 (4+16 =20) at the 20th hour (8pm) at the 20th minute the lights at the Garretson Sports Complex will be turned on to show support for the class of 2020. Those interested are encouraged to drive by the football field and honk support. Please do not stop or try to come onto the field as we will still encourage everyone to practice social distancing.
Congratulations to Carter from 5D!! He won the Arbor Day Poster contest for the school and will go on to the state contest! It was a close competition! Good job to all that participated!

We applied for a waiver to some of the rules for feeding our students while we are out of school. Our application was accepted. As of Monday, we will be able to provide a free grab and go lunch and breakfast to anyone under the age of 18 in the District. Meals are available from 11AM to 1PM.
A special shout out to all of our Blue Dragon educators for getting us off to an awesome start with distance education.
Give them a round of applause and show them a little love!
