Our 4th-6th graders were able to listen to Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and hear how he became an author after failing to make it as a newspaper comic. Students were also able to follow along and learn how to draw two of the main characters from his book!
Youth Opportunity Grant!
Please find attached the flyer for the new Pine County Youth Opportunity Grant Application (PC-YOGA). These are mini-grants intended for improve youth engagement in positive, pro-social activities at school or in the community. The application can be completed by the youth, adults helping the youth, or adults planning for some activity that will directly support youth. Examples include activity fees, field trip costs, activity supplies, teacher fees for supervising a group, etc. More examples are provided on the surveymonkey application, and feel free to be creative!
