A Huge Thank You to Our Summer Crew!
The Donut Shop would like to extend a massive thank you to our incredible summer staff for their hard work, long hours, and donut-stop work ethic to ensuring everyone received their proper, legally mandated fulfillment of buttercream and Danny specials. We literally could not—and would not want to—do it without them!
As summer wraps up, our team members are heading off to new adventures:
Bryce Bowman is headed to Augustana University as a sophomore majoring in Music Education with an instrumental focus. When he isn't handing you a Buttercream Puff, he is serving as a Specialist in the 147th Army National Guard Band. Good luck keeping rhythm with college finals, Bryce!
Aaron Venner is off to Lake Area Tech for the building trades program and is an impressive recipient of the Build Dakota Scholarship. We expect all future Donut Shop renovations to be up to code, Aaron.
If you don’t see our high school staff working hard at the donut shop during the week or weekends this fall, don't worry—they haven't escaped; they are just busy with extracurricular activities:
-Kameryn Bowman is involved in high school band, choir, cheer, and dance.
-Everette Norton will be dominating the pitch playing Govs Soccer.
-Rylan Afdahl will be hitting the ice for Capital Hockey.
-Thomas Snyder will be bringing the thunder playing Govs Football.
Thank you all for your stellar service, sweet dedication, and humor this summer. We wish you the absolute best of luck this school year!
