The Jamestown Sun hands out five bravos this week. 7:00 am, Jan. 23, 2021 ×
The Jamestown Sun hands out these bravos this week:
Bravo to Jamestown Public School District for adding aviation, drone technology and water safety courses to the curriculum next year. The aviation class and drone technology will be taught in alternating years and give students a chance to explore high-flying technology and the careers that may result from that technology. The water safety class, taught every year, can help alleviate the unfilled demand for lifeguards in the pools of the region.
Bravo to the folks at Cold Creek Buffalo Ranch for donating Moose, a new herd bull, to the National Buffalo Museum. Moose will add needed genetic diversity to the bison herd at the National Buffalo Museum.
