Good morning. It is with a heavy heart and a deep sadness that we report that the Ethan School District has lost a staff member due to a car accident during yesterday's inclement weather. Out of respect for our neighbors, colleagues, and sports cooperative partnership with the Ethan School District the girls basketball game tonight versus Ethan as part of the Hanson Classic has been canceled. We ask that you please keep the Ethan School District and community in your thoughts and prayers.

Parkston HOSA is hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, January 7th from 9:00 AM - 1:45 PM in the Armory Classroom. We need your help! Please sign up online to donate or email Carmen Bartells to find a time. Did you know that roughly about 62% of the US population is eligible to donate blood, but only about 3% actually do annually? That means 97% of eligible donors are not donating! Why not be part of the movement in 2026 and try?! We appreciate every single person who has ever supported our drives, but this isn't about HOSA. This is about the fact that every 2 seconds in the US, somebody needs blood or platelets. It's a small act with a BIG IMPACT. 🩸💞 Thanks in advance!
