Rahele Megosha, a senior at Washington High School, won $20,000 Thursday night in the national Poetry Out Loud competition. I m still in shock; it hasn t really hit me yet, Megosha told the Argus Leader on Friday morning. I wasn t expecting to win $20,000.
Megosha was the best of nine student finalists from across the nation. She is also the first student poet from South Dakota to ever win the competition. This has been such a crazy opportunity, she said. I didn t expect any of this to happen. I had a week to prepare for (the preliminary competition), and everything has been such a journey ever since.

Twin Falls School District Votes To Return To 4 Days
The Twin Falls School District Board of Trustees voted Monday, December 14th to have schools return to a 4 day school week and modified Yellow protocol when classes return January 4th.
The modified Yellow protocol would mean all students would return to the classroom 4 days a week, Tuesday through Friday with Monday being a designated online learning day. The reason for Monday being an online learning day is so teachers can prepare lessons for any students that are sick and cannot go in to the classrooms.
According to the Twin Falls School Board press release, recent guidelines from the CDC recommend that schools across the country begin to open as much as possible.
