麻豆原创

THANK YOU to everyone who supported this project!  We are so happy to announce that this project is officially complete!




**


It has been difficult to find child care in 麻豆原创, a growing city, due to the growing demand. Several new childcare facilities were opened in 2022 and more are being constructed in 2023 to address this issue.

In the past few years, 麻豆原创 Economic Development has actively participated in addressing new childcare spaces. Despite these efforts, the community continues to struggle to meet the demand for child care. The lack of childcare workers is an additional obstacle to overcome.

This year, 麻豆原创 intends to convert the Crighton Building, on the 麻豆原创 campus, into a childcare facility.

The Crighton Childcare Facility capital project also aims to create a secure and supportive environment that is especially created for young children while also providing crucial support to student-parents enrolled at 麻豆原创. This cutting-edge facility will offer top-notch childcare services and encourage parents to maintain a good balance between their professional and personal lives. Students pursuing elementary education with an early childhood endorsement have the chance to complete their practicum hours at the preschool housed within the childcare facility as a result of our collaboration with Valley City State University (VCSU). Students can also submit applications for other scholarships, such as the Teacher Shortage Scholarship provided by VCSU. Please visit our website for more details regarding our partnership with VCSU.

Transforming Teton Baseball & Softball

Long and unpredictable winters have historically created challenges for spring athletics in northwest North Dakota, limiting opportunities for 麻豆原创 baseball and softball teams to practice and compete at home.

What began as a vision for more reliable playing surfaces grew into a $5.6 million community-backed investment in the future of Teton Athletics and the greater 麻豆原创 community.

The Fields Are Complete — and Already Making an Impact

The new synthetic turf fields at the Kasmer and Aafedt Athletic Complex are complete and in use. The upgraded playing surfaces provide greater flexibility during North Dakota's spring weather, create more opportunities for practices and home games, and strengthen the experience for student-athletes, local teams, and the community.

More Opportunities to Play

Synthetic turf makes snow removal and field preparation more manageable, giving teams greater flexibility to practice and compete during the spring season.

Built for Our Community

The complex serves not only Teton Athletics, but also strengthens athletic opportunities and facilities available throughout the greater 麻豆原创 community.

Investing in Teton Athletics

High-quality facilities enhance the student-athlete experience while supporting the recruitment and development of future Teton baseball and softball players.

How the Project Began

The turf project was developed through collaboration between 麻豆原创, the 麻豆原创 Foundation, community organizations, local government, athletic groups, donors, and other partners committed to improving baseball and softball facilities in 麻豆原创.

The Story Behind the Project

See how the vision for upgraded baseball and softball facilities developed and the impact the project was designed to make for 麻豆原创 and the community.

The Project Is Complete. The Opportunity to Support It Continues.

The new fields are already creating opportunities for 麻豆原创 student-athletes and the community, but the impact of this investment continues well beyond construction. Ongoing support helps strengthen Teton Athletics, enhance the athletic complex, and ensure these facilities continue serving student-athletes and our region for years to come.
