The district has discontinued plans for a Memory Garden on the campus.  We deemed it to be too expensive, too steeped in regulations at the state level and the project did not have full support of Essentia-Sandstone.  Dr. Tom Witt, Essentia Administrator suggested designing and building a “walking path” instead.  We are taking that under advisement.

The EMR course being sponsored by the district have been filled by 15 applicants.
