North Dakota Highlights

North Dakota Dairy Princess Rachael Rott visited the Sheyenne 9th Grade Center in West Fargo in January to help with the school’s Fuel Up to Play 60 kickoff events. The student team there planned a week filled with fun activities and contests, and encouraged the students to take the health pledge. They ended the week with Rachel's visit and an opportunity for students to get their milk mustache picture taken.

Schools receiving funding this fall are Cheney Middle School and STEM Center in West Fargo,South Middle School in Grand Forks, Ben Franklin Middle School in Fargo and Stanley Elementary in Stanley.
