On This Week in South Dakota History • March 3, 1904. It is said that President Roosevelt will refuse to sign the Rosebud bill unless the price of the land paid to the Indians is raised to $5.00 per acre. This would practically kill the effect of the bill, as few homesteaders would pay that price for the land when nearly as good land only a few miles farther north is already open for free homestead entry.
Virtual Community Tour • Each class will research their town. They will put pictures and information about their community on the Discover South Dakota site so other students can learn about their town. Rockerville, South Dakota
Virtual Community Tour • The Rockerville class reported finding a stray dog. They kept him as a classroom mascot. The students wanted the other classrooms to come up with a name for the dog.
Virtual Community Tour • Does this picture look familiar? This is just one of the many photos taken by last year’s students for the Madison Community Portfolio. See the entire slide show in the archives.
