Springfield Elementary School is making change, beating Cancer

Students at Springfield Elementary in Springfield collected Pennies for Patients to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society during the months of January and February. Students teamed together, each contributing to the fundraiser and the total was an amazing $913.16!!! First Savings Bank counted all the coins. The top fundraising class was the combined kindergarten and first grade classroom. The students and staff of Springfield Elementary worked hard to read the designated goal of $500 so they could have a pizza party for everyone. "I am so proud of our students," said Mr. Michael Duffek, elementary school principal at Bon Homme School District. "One student or one penny acting alone doesn't accomplish much, but when we all team together, anything is possible. Our students and staff did a great job of giving selflessly to help children and others battling blood cancer."

"These students serve as an example to all of us through their commitment to helping others." said Kelly Fegley, campaign manager for the Minnesota Chapter. "Their efforts will help local patients and their families along with funding blood cancer research at the University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic. Leukemia is the most common cancer in children and adults less than 20 years old. An estimated 957,902 Americans are living with a blood cancer, and every four minutes, someone new is diagnosed. Since 1992, $6.7 million has been raised locally by thousands of pre-kindergarten, elementary, middle, high school and college students.

Acceptable documents for proof of legal name change are a certified marriage certificate ( issued by a state vital records agency), a certified adoption document, or a certified court order authorizing a name change (such as a divorce decree).

If you have had multiple marriages, you will need to bring similar documents providing legal proof of each name change.

April is Safe Digging Month

As South Dakotans gear up for spring construction and planting projects, the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission and the South Dakota One Call Board remind all residents to always call 811 a few days before any digging project to have underground utilities marked. When calling 811, homeowners and contractors are connected to the South Dakota One Call center which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig. Professional locators are then sent to mark the approximate locations of underground lines with flags, paint or both. The 811 call and subsequent marking of utilities are free to the homeowner or contractor.
