The Final Beam
We witnessed something truly special at Medary Elementary as our learners saw their signed and final beam put in place for their new school. Their dreams, hopes, and aspirations are what inspire us to build this foundation for their future. This is our “why”.

The Brookings School District will dismiss at 1:30pm today for the Homecoming Parade. The parade route begins on the corner of 6th St. and 5th Ave. at the old Newman's Gas Station. It moves south on 5th Ave. to Front St., then west on Front St., and north down Main Ave., ending at 6th St. For everyone's safety, please keep children, and perhaps a few adults, within 5 feet of the curbs along the parade route so that they stay out of the way of parade traffic. Hope to see everyone there!
