Why is my furnace not working? 

This is a basic question that most people face at some point in their lives. 

A few simple checks and questions might quickly fix it. 

– Does the furnace still have power to it?  

– Did the power switch to the furnace get turned off?  

– Is the thermostat calling for heat?  

– Is the thermostat still turned on to heat?  

– Is the exhaust pipe plugged with snow or ice?  

– Is the intake pipe plugged with snow or ice?  

If none of these simple items resolve the problem, it could be something more serious that requires a professional. They can come out to check and determine the problem so that you can get your furnace working again.

Why should you nominate someone for ‘hood’s Educator of the Year?  

Being awarded ‘hood’s 2023 Educator of the Year was a huge honor! I am very passionate about my job as a kindergarten teacher in one of Sioux Falls’ largest schools. Building relationships with my students and their families while instilling a love of learning is very fulfilling.    

I want to encourage parents to take the time to nominate a teacher who has made an impact on their child’s life! In the business of children, words of gratitude and encouragement are very meaningful! Sometimes, ‘seeing’ academic or social growth in our students takes a long time, and to know that our efforts are appreciated is reassuring.
