Game, Fish & Parks Educators and Conservation Officers teamed up to bring the HuntSAFE program to Patrick Henry Middle School in September. Through hands-on lessons in firearm safety, hunting ethics, and outdoor responsibility, students gained the knowledge and confidence to enjoy South Dakota’s great outdoors safely. Thank you to our partners, educators, and officers who made it possible to share this important program with the next generation of hunters! *Patrick Henry had 14 students participate and everyone passed the course with top scores! 👏👏

Last Tuesday, South Dakota State University hosted the Patrick Henry 8th graders. Students had a number of different experiences across different locations on campus. The students viewed a science show in the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center, participated in an academic fair in the Miller Wellness Center, learned about student connection and engagement at the University Student Union, and had lunch at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. Thanks to SDSU for inviting the Panthers and helping 8th graders get a glimpse of what the future could hold.
