Hello, people of Parkston and Hutchinson County, South Dakota. Community awareness post. PLEASE SHARE with FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS! Hi. 👋🏼 😊 My name is Lauris and I am a university student from Latvia. I successfully got my sales license approved by Parkston City and introduced myself to the Chief Matt Van Der Linden at Parkston Police Department. I am posting this to inform the community that I will be going DOOR to DOOR for the next few weeks helping families with education.😇 Since I go door-to-door it has its reputation, I am trying to be laid back and compliant when meeting families at their doorstep. I will give my best to leave everyone in a good mood. My priority is to treat every family as I wish someone would treat my parents at their doorstep ❤️ SUPER EXCITED🤩🤩🤩 Everybody is super nice and friendly here, thank you for that! Thank you for having me here! 🤩👍 This is my 5th year in the USA helping families with educational resources and I am happy to say I have been able to help over 1500 families in past summers! I DO NOT represent or am affiliated with any of the schools. It is my summer internship and this is the way that I get to pay my way through school. I sell: 1) Study guides and apps that help parents to help kids with NEW Math & other subjects. 📱📚 partners of McGraw Hill. 2) Books and Apps and study guides that help children save time doing schoolwork in High school & test preparation throughout grade 1 till grade 12📱📚 including The Princeton Review’s ACT/SAT prep. 3) Leadership development program for teens. 4)Fun and educational kids learning system from babies till 12yo kids to give them a head start in school. 📱📚 5) Kids' Bible books for character building. 📚 When I knock on your door, then know that I have an accent, please do not be intimidated by that. 😉 I drive a white Toyota Camry with Maryland plates. I’m excited to meet everyone! See you at your door 😊 PS - my second time in South Dakota- loving it.
