Just want to double check to be sure everyone who that needs a sound system for students with Auditory Processing Disorder (ADP) has one and it is working. If you do not, please let Kathy Backes know immediately. Also, I would like to remind everyone that if a student has a sound system as an accommodation on their IEP or 504 teachers are required to use it. Below are a few of the reasons why sound systems are needed.

1. It doesn’t matter how loud your voice is, they can hear, it’s that they have difficulty discriminating consonant sounds in words.

2. Sound systems enhance comprehension.

3. Keeps students engaged and reduces behaviors

4. Decreases strain on teacher voice/vocal cords.

Hello!

My name is Jodi Sherman. I’m the volunteer coordinator for the Wild Hog Marathon. I’m contacting you because you have volunteered for us in the past, and we’d love to have you join our volunteer team again this year.
This community event requires about 600 volunteers. There are Wild Hog marathon events held from Thursday, September 26 through Saturday, September 28. Most of our volunteers are assigned to course duty, which means they are on the course directly supporting our runners as they make their way to the finish line on Saturday morning.
The best thing about the Wild Hog Marathon is it directly benefits the entire community. The economic impact is nearly $250,000 per year! Additionally, net proceeds are donated to three awesome 501(c)3 charities that directly impact the youth of Greater Grand Forks supports active lifestyles for our youth by removing financial barriers to being active. These charities are: Grand Forks Public Schools Foundation for Education ($42,500 given to date), Grand Forks YMCA - Partner of Youth Scholarships ($42,500 given to date), Grand Forks Parks & Recreation Foundation (over $45,000 given to date). Our goal is to get kids active and keep them active. Another example of community support is that the Wild Hog provides complimentary race entries to Special Olympics of North Dakota athletes and partners.
Please consider spending some time with us to help support an event that has a large impact on our communities of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks.
