Gregory NHS donated $1,000 to the Gregory pool fund. Members of the Society worked the GHS athletic concession stand for the months of February and March for all basketball games. They also ran the concession stand for the East/ West Shootout that was held after the regular girls’ and boys’ basketball seasons ended. The funds earned were used to pay for their catered banquet held at the end of April, for pins and tassels that the members receive, and for their yearly dues for the organization. Having leftover funds, they made the decision to donate to the pool fund, which will eventually benefit everyone in the community.

When you think about South Dakota, you can’t help but picture the great outdoors. The beautiful Black Hills, with their mix of mountain ranges and rolling prairies. The mighty Missouri River — winding across the state and feeding thousands of miles of riverbed and streams. The picturesque prairie lakes and the wideopen fields that I call home. From the Badlands to farmlands, we’ve got plenty of reasons to go outside. Whether you are there to work or there to play, the outdoors benefits our economy, too. Especially in agriculture and in our hunting and fishing opportunities.
