Yesterday was the seventh annual An Intro to Life event hosted by local business teachers and the Events Management class of Valentine High School.
The sophomores of Ainsworth, Cody-Kilgore, Keya Paha, Rock County, Thedford, & Valentine all got an amazing introduction to adulthood. They learned about budgeting and important skills they would need in the future like sewing buttons and interviewing skills. We had over 50 Sandhills community members support this event with their time, money, and energy, and we couldn't be more appreciative.
