Two years ago Kathryn Enderson started visiting with RDO in Fergus Falls about ISD 544's internship program and the possibility of placing a high school intern with them. Through discussions with Andy Luikens, Recruiting Program Manager and Kasey Lindstrom, Fergus Falls Store Manager, Aiden Lindgren was placed in a paid student internship during the spring semester of 2022. Aiden continued working with them over the summer and through the fall of 2022.

On Monday, during our Fergus Falls High School Senior Signing Day, Aiden signed a $32,000 sponsorship with RDO through their Access Your Future program.

We are so proud of this accomplishment for Aiden and the others behind the scenes who made this happen. Dennis Wutzke had Aiden as a student and recognized his potential to succeed in this program; Kathryn Enderson was able to make the connections through the work-based learning program; Andy helped facilitate the program design; and Kasey provided the local supervision for Aiden.

We are also thankful for the support of Aiden's parents along the way!

7th and 8th grade REACH students have been busy growing sunflowers as part of their "Nature and Good Health" days. Last week they took their little seedlings outside to be replanted along the Otter Trail. Some of the Sunflowers planted could grow to be 12' tall! If you are back on the trail this summer, keep an eye out for the REACH Sunflowers.
