Eric Nielsen, of Wood River, has lost family and friends to cancer. He was recently inspired to memorialize Wood River area residents who had lost their battle with the disease. The result of his inspiration was the subject of a dedication ceremony held on Friday, August 19, at the north base of the walking bridge during the 2022 Wood River FunFest activities.
With the generous donations from the Shelton School Foundation and Shelton PTO, Shelton Public School completed a number of improvements over the summer months.
The second annual STEM (Science, technology, engineering and math) Camp was held this summer at Wood River’s Stick Creek Kids Development Center on July 6, 7, and 8. Nearly 50 children attended the camp and studied Bernoulli's Principle and learned about all things wind and air. STEM Camp was staffed by camp director, Kim Canfield, along with her junior high volunteer, Anna Canfield. Several Stick Creek Kids teachers were also involved with and helped with the camp from assisting students to serving up healthy snacks. A highlight of STEM Camp was flying kites on the final day of camp. “Fun was had by all and we look forward to Summer STEM Camp in 2023,” said Mrs. Canfield. STEM Camp has been made possible by the support of our Stick Creek Kids families and board, The Wood River Centennial Community Foundation, and the #NebraskaSTEM program.
