The Webster Area School District has joined
many other school districts in South Dakota
in the Farm to School Program. We are doing this
program with the goal of providing 100% locally grown
and processed beef in our school lunch program.
To help make this possible, the Webster Area School District is
looking for donations of beef cattle for the 2024-2025 school
year. Monetary donations to this program will be used to offset
the cost of the processing.
If you are interested in donating to the Webster Area School
District Local Beef Program, please contact Lori O’Farrell at
605-345-3548 or lori.ofarrell@k12.sd.us.
Now that we have an awesome upgraded playground, let’s keep it that way! We’ve posted 8 signs around the playground with the rules, so please take a moment to read them (see attachment). We ask everyone using the playground to follow these rules to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all. If you see someone not following the rules, please address it directly with them or report it to the school office or the police. We especially need your help during non-school hours. Let’s all work together to keep this playground an awesome facility! Thanks for your cooperation!
