RAPID CITY, S.D. – Rapid City Mayor Jason Salamun spent part of Monday visiting fourth-grade students at Corral Drive Elementary, discussing city government and answering questions about the community.
The annual visit is part of the school’s social studies curriculum, which introduces students to local government and how city services affect their daily lives. Students also hear from school district representatives, city council members, and other local officials.
With his term as mayor set to end next year, Salamun told students he’ll miss opportunities like classroom visits the most. He highlighted recent city projects and future developments, while encouraging students to stay engaged in their community.
Teachers say the program helps students better understand local government and inspires them to become active participants in shaping Rapid City’s future.
