🎮📱 Screen time can affect mental health—so it’s worth being intentional about how it’s used.

Try co-viewing shows or playing games together. It’s a great way to understand what your child is engaging with online and naturally open up conversations about what they’re seeing and feeling.

What is Social Host Liability? Social Host Liability refers to the legal responsibility of individuals who host gatherings where alcohol is served, particularly when minors are involved. Even if you do not directly supply alcohol but permit minors to consume it on your property, you can be held liable. Penalties can include fines or citations, possible jail time, and civil liability if someone is harmed. If you are hosting a party, know who is there and make sure that anyone under 21 does not have access to alcohol.

The Kidder County Schools elementary students are having a morning full of health prevention education!

NDSU Nursing at Sanford Health Bismarck students educated our kiddos on a variety of topics: nutrition, hygiene, dental health, physical activity, online safety, bullying, and va**ng!! They had very creative, age-appropriate, and hands on activities to help the students learn.

We are so thankful to collaborate with everyone to make this day happen each year!
