HI, last Tuesday night, there was a class at the college in Devils Lake about finances, taxes, and selling businesses. These are always so interesting and there is so much to learn about money management and how to pay only the taxes necessary. Four from Cando attended. So often when there is an interesting class held somewhere else, I wish we would have more adult education here in Cando. Maybe that is something we can work on for next fall. Any ideas, anyone?
On Feb. 26th was family reading night, at the Cando school.
More than 50 parents and children showed up with pillows and blankets and reading books.
Many classes entertained us with plays.
All presentations given was to teach parents and children the fun of reading together.
Cando public school is having a family reading night. Tuesday Feb. 26th at 7:00pm in the school gym.
Bring your reading materials and a blanket. Presentations will be given by several classes.
Cando public school is having parent teacher conferences on Feb 28th from 3:15 to 9:15pm

No school on Feb. 29th.
Hearing that there is an artist in residence project at the Cando elementary school working with clay, some around town have stated that they also would like to try working with clay. So, something to think about, maybe we can get some adult education in the arts going in Cando. I love to take classes, maybe others do too.
Winter time is busy but we also need quiet creative activities to keep our spirits and energy levels going. If you have any ideas for adult art classes, let me know and I will work at getting something arranged.
This is us during our initial blog training in February. We had fun learning how to blog, and even though some of us look a little more confused than others, you can tell by scrolling through our blog site that we really did learn a lot.
Let’s not wait until tomorrow to do something.
Wisdom and guidance shared by all, will give us the power to overcome any dream.
I just made that up. Wanted to share my vision. T.G.
Penny’s Pennies
Penny had been saving pennies to buy shoes that cost five dollars. One day she was counting them, and her father asked how many she had.
“Well,” she replied, “when I count them by twos, threes, fours, fives, or sixes, there is always one penny left over. But when I count them by sevens, there are none left.”
How many pennies did she have?
