    Thank You PTO

    We want to give our PTO a big THANK YOU for helping to fund our 5th graders composting project. The kids received a 120 gallon composting bin. Each day the students will collect the leftover food scraps from the cafeteria and place them in the bin for them to naturally compost. In the spring, our 5th graders will give the compost to the high school to use in the greenhouse.

    North Gem Supplemental Levy: Investing in Our Students’ Future

    At North Gem, our commitment remains strong, providing a safe, high-quality education for every student while being responsible stewards of taxpayer funds.

    This November, voters will consider renewing our current supplemental levy to maintain essential programs, staff, and services that keep our district moving forward.

    What This Means for Taxpayers:

    • Estimated annual cost: $159.72 per $100,000 of taxable value
    • This replaces the current levy (expiring June 30, 2026)
    • Estimated decrease: $9.85 per $100,000 compared to the current levy

    What the Levy Supports:

    • Small class sizes and individualized instruction
    • Quality teachers and academic programs
    • Student activities, technology, and safe facilities
    • Transportation and operational stability in our rural district

    Your continued support helps North Gem maintain the educational excellence our community expects and our students deserve.

    Stay Informed & Get Involved: Information about how levy funds are used, the ballot language, and taxpayer impacts is available on our website: www.sd149.com

    Every vote counts. Together, we’re shaping the future of North Gem—one student at a time.
