EMT Students Help Coodinate A Mock Car Crash
On Tuesday, May 2nd at 9:15 a.m. outside of the NLS High School, NLS EMT students, along with the Kandiyohi County Safe Roads Coalition and community partners will participate in a mock car crash to raise awareness of the dangers and consequences of unsafe driving behaviors. This event is planned for all high school students and will be held near the West entrance of the high school parking lot. We understand that this could be alarming to onlookers, which is why we would like our community to note that this is a demonstration and training event, and not a real emergency.
With Traffic Crashes being the second leading cause of death for Minnesota teens, behind suicide, due to inexperience, risk-taking, distractions and poor seatbelt compliance. The goal of this mock crash is to encourage safer teen drivers especially with prom week approaching. This event sends a hard hitting message of the dangers and consequences of unsafe driving behaviors like drinking and driving, driving while distracted (texting, snapchat, and other passengers), speeding and not wearing a seatbelt. Hopefully, this will serve as a reminder and encourage students to make the right choice behind the wheel to protect themselves and others from being injured or killed in a crash.

Prairie Meadows Early Childhood
Our preschoolers are ready for spring! In the classroom they are busy learning all about flowers, the parts of a flower, measuring with flowers, and gardening. They have enjoyed being outside exploring again on our natural playground!
We are so thankful to the Educational Foundation's STEAM grant program for the purchase of new initiatives. The addition of magnet blocks, new building materials and art supplies helps to enhance the fun and learning in our afternoons at Cub Kids!
