This themed evening for the dinner dance is more than just a date night… it’s a community-powered fundraiser that supports the students and helps keep special programming, experiences, and opportunities strong. Megan and Lindsey share what attendees can expect, including dinner, auctions, games, and a dance, plus the kind of warm, small-town energy that makes these nights so memorable. The conversation also dives into what makes St. Margaret’s unique: a small, faith-based environment, a strong focus on leadership and service, and a school culture built on a true partnership with parents. From Catholic Schools Week celebrations to service projects and student involvement, you’ll hear how this school keeps kids engaged, supported, and encouraged to grow into the kind of leaders our communities need. You’ll also get a peek at other St. Margaret’s happenings throughout the year, including community events like bingo nights and paint parties — and why local support matters so much for fundraising efforts that directly benefit students. Whether you have a connection to the school or just love supporting great things happening in our community, this episode is a good reminder of what can happen when a town shows up for its kids.

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Donna Harrison. Harrison is leading the initiative to bring a Wyoming Classical Academy charter school to Riverton, which will be open to students in all of Fremont County. The Academy is a proposed tuition-free public charter school based on the Hillsdale curriculum, and focuses on “classic books, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, science, and the fine arts, while fostering critical thinking, communication, and character development.” There is currently a Wyoming Classical Academy campus operating in Mills, and one that is set to open in Alpine in the fall of 2026. Harrison, who runs Smart-Start Quality Child Care in Riverton and operates it under the Montessori model, explained that the goal is to open the Riverton Campus to grades K-6 to start off, then add grades each year after that. The Academy would be tuition-free, with no entrance exams or religious affiliation. Harrison says the goal is to have a 2027/28 school year opening date, after the program application is submitted to the Wyoming Charter School Board in March of 2026. Before that application can be submitted, Harrison said they need to have between 150-200 letters of interest. They currently already have over 80 letters. Folks can fill out the letter of interest here. (Note: the letter of interest is not a commitment.) A parent information night will take place tomorrow night, November 18, in the Riverton Library at 6 PM. In addition to the information night and links above, you can check out the full Coffee Time interview with Harrison below for even more details!
