Rural ND schools see big gains from small essentials

In rural schools, a lack of basic necessities like deodorant, toothpaste, and warm clothing can become a quiet barrier to learning. Teachers have long paid out of pocket to fill this gap, but now, a community driven solution is being tested. Northland Health Centers is helping schools in communities like Turtle Lake stock “Care Closets” with essential items. The result? Students and teachers with one less thing to worry about turn their focus back to the classroom and learning. Michelle Tom with KMOT has the full story.
