Thank you, friends, for watching and working for North Dakota Today. It was a fun day to talk about Andrew Krauseneck and his Uncle Mark, my Nice People of the Week, as well as a group helping foster kids bridge the gap between home and school.

And want to learn more about Bridging the Gap? Click here. In Janelle’s words: “The ultimate goal of BTG is to get students to graduation. Life is so much harder if you do not have an education. We do that by #1 providing critical needs (food, hygiene items, and anything tangible that removes an obstacle for learning), providing transportation (absenteeism is one of the leading barriers to students continuing with their education), giving tree (this makes students/kids feel seen and heard when they receive a gift that they asked for), life skills (how to read a lease, how to apply for a job, how to be a good employee, how to budget, how to choose a bank).”
