Sharing the love

For the third time, International Falls Rotary has given a book to every pre-k and kindergarten student in International Falls and Littlefork.The first two book giveaways were prompted by COVID 19, when “Rotary Readers” were unable to read to kids at school in the annual event.“But Rotary is continuing the tradition, largely because Readers and teachers have observed how much the children love books as a gift,” said Jeff Hardwig, Rotary member and LORE leader.

Students recognized

The Littlefork-Big Falls School Board recently recognized the students of the month for October 2023.Wyatt Hell was recognized for senior high, and Braeson Porter for the junior high.The students are selected after being nominated by teachers, reports Kathy Siltman, L-BF High School Secretary.
