Hands-on teaching in Brookings: Educator for a Day program benefits adults, kids alike

BROOKINGS — A piglet? Check. Robots? Check. An animal skull? Check! Nov. 15 was Educator for a Day at Camelot Intermediate School — and it was a day the school’s fourth- and fifth-graders won’t soon forget as they leaped wholeheartedly into the event’s unique learning opportunities.

Bell ringing underway in Brookings

BROOKINGS — “We’re kind of like a poster child for the Salvation Army,” explained Maddi Flanagan, Service Center manager for Brookings County. “We’re pretty unique here in Brookings. We’re not a corps; we’re not an extension unit; we’re a service center. We’re pretty individualized in the big picture of the Salvation Army.”
