“Thank you for coming and presenting your ideas to the students of Hagerman. It was an awesome experience. I really liked the telephone analogies. I liked that you were able to expand on some famous people who they have looked up to. The students could really relate to your stories. I teach a group of 9th grade students. I would love to have you come and present to them. I feel they could really benefit from it also.”
Hagerman 8th and 9th Grade Teacher
“My students really enjoyed this experience (writing their application responses) and it was really cool to listen to them research and think about their future! I have not had students do this kind of thinking before and I definitely see the benefit of it! I hope we can do this again next year.”
Glenns Ferry 4/5th Grade Teacher
What is unique about HDCC?
HDCC’s mission extends its reach to children in neighboring communities interconnected to our valley by the workforce we see commuting in and out of the valley each day. Many of HDCC’s collaborative members are considered under-resourced school districts where funding gaps can adversely impact student programming and opportunities. Given that a significant portion of Blaine County’s small business owners, managerial leadership, and workforce travel daily from Carey, Fairfield, Richfield, Dietrich, Shoshone, Wendell, Bliss and beyond, the valley’s vibrancy will continue to be linked with the aspirations and future education of our collaborative membership. HDCC is a unique educational non-profit whose wingspan works directly within these communities, giving back to neighbors who contribute so much to our lives.
I hope you will join us in supporting HDCC’s mission.
