PEAK (Pears Encouraging Abstinent Kids) Amber Frei, Kaylee Uhlenkott, Kyle Holthaus and David Sigler presented the PEAK program, a state-approved curriculum encouraging kids to make wise choices.  Most of the 8th grade students at Grangeville Middle School choose to participate in the program. Over the course of four sessions, these four students shared valuable information, personal experiences, and helped students practice ways to resist negative peer pressures.  The feedback from teachers and students was very positive.  Amber, Kaylee, Kyle and David need to be commended for their commitment and dedication and for their willingness to share their time in an effort to make a difference.

On Tuesday, Nov. 18, the Webelos and Bear Den of Cub Scout Pack 638 had the opportunity to visit the Sheriff’s office in Grangeville.Stephanie showed the boys how dispatch worked and how they monitor the courthouse area. They were unable to go down and see the jail area as they were taking care of a situation. Instead the boys got to check out John Nida’s police car. They like the new style of flares that they have, and of course the sirens. They are planning to go back over and learn more about what law enforcement does.Also Pack 638 collected Teddy Bears for a two week period and gave them to the Sheriff’s Department. The bears will be used by officers to take to homes as something to comfort children in an uncomfortable situation. The Scouts want to thank Prairie Elementary School and Prairie High School for their donations.
This also tied in with their November theme, “Seeds of Kindness.” Pictured in back are Webelos Jordan Bowles and Phillip Spencer . Bear Den members in front from left are Anthony Karel, Jon Bradley and  Hunter Chaffee.

From left to right are Sr. Chanelle Schuler, Dakota Wilson, Jack Duman, Barbara Jones, Roy Unlenkott, Sr. Valine Kachelmier, and Kathleen Steinke with one of the new signs directing people toward Pine Bar. See story above left.
