The community, moved by the need for this playground overhaul, has rallied around the Jefferson Elementary School PTO. The project, initiated through conversations that began 12 months ago, has gained widespread support, representing the spirit of community engagement.

Tyler Marthaler, Market President of Dacotah Bank in Valley City, and the surrounding areas, expressed pride in the bank’s commitment to giving back.
