🎶 New instruments = new opportunities! The kindergarten and second-grade classes at Bert Raney Elementary are already putting their new instruments to great use, thanks to funding from the Granite Falls Area Community Foundation.

This is music to our ears! We love getting to be a part of stories like these right here in the Granite Falls area.

Cub Scouts Pack 3291 was restarted in Granite Falls in the fall of 2024 by Barrett and Ann Eggebraaten, after not operating for several years. The registration fees for each scout is $200/year. This does not provide any funds for other activities or awards. This year, we have 10 scouts from kindergarten through 5th grade. The GFACF grant was able to help offset some of the registration fees and provide fun activities to help these kids grow in service, community, and self!

An update from YME Robotics Coach, Andy Holt: "The Team finished the regular season March 4-7 with the regional competition in Duluth. The team did amazing. We made it into the championship rounds in an alliance with a team from Kasson-Mantorville and a team from Shanghai China. Their Alliance ended up in 4th place. The YME Stingbots represented themselves well both on and off the field. "Thank you to GFACF for your continued support and making this possible for our kids."
