Junior class painted p morning crew .. Morning crew... We may have to find an evening to get together. We cannot paint on top of wet concrete (soaked concrete) I drove around town and it's def soaked, because as it dries it would cause the paint to discolor and likely flake due to moisture. So, we don't want to do all of that work only to have to redo it later, plus people paid for this product. So as hard as this is, morning crew will have to reschedule. Afternoon crew I will wait and see what it looks like by about 1130 and then email out about second crew if we are working. We only have two sets of stencils so can't push it more than that. Anyone from first crew is welcome to join second crew, but we still may need to do another night.

What: Open House Recognition of Service

For Whom: Craig Bruening

When: TODAY Monday, June 30, 4-6 PM

Where: Elementary Conference/Work Room

The district will be hosting an appreciation open house for Craig Bruening in recognition of his 20+ years of service in the Parkston School District. Mr. Bruening will be leaving employment with the Parkston School District to further his career as a business manager for the Mitchell School District.

Mr. Bruening started working in the Parkston School District in 2004 as the business teacher and head boys basketball coach. In 2008, he transitioned into the business manager role and has served in that capacity ever since. Craig has provided the school district with critical financial leadership and stability, along with building a consistent, competitive boys' basketball program during his tenure at Parkston. Many projects and financial practices have been a result of Craig’s vision not only for the school district but the community as well.

Help us celebrate and say thank you to Mr. Bruening for his time of service in the Parkston School District by joining us for treats, refreshments, and fellowship.
