Project Kids is Hiring
I am looking to hire some students who are at least 15 years of age or
older to be part of our Project Kids team. Project Kids is our before and
after school program which is located in all of our elementary schools.
We have many shifts available Monday through Friday with the option to
work before school or after or a mix of both. We are very flexible with
our scheduling of hours.
Project Kids is a great program where you can come to work and make a
difference in the lives of our elementary aged students. A typical day
would include playing board games, coloring, playing in the gym, arts
and crafts, helping with homework and just spending time interacting
with our kids.
If this sounds like a place that you would like the opportunity to be
involved with please call or email me at
Slattery@Isd191.orgI would love to set up a time where we could meet and you can come see
our program in action.
If you’re thinking about a career in education this is the perfect job for
you. This position starts at $13.85 an hour. Email or call today- 952-707-3908.

BHS to Present Little Women
Burnsville High School junior Victoria Jacobson leads the cast in the role of Jo March, who is growing up with her sisters Meg (junior Cori Dawson), Beth (sophomore Allie Stuart), and Amy (junior Sara Russell) during the Civil War. They strive to be brave, intelligent and imaginative young women. But as adulthood approaches, each sister must negotiate her private ambitions with society’s expectations.
While the characters may be familiar to readers of all generations, Hamill’s adaptation reveals that the March sisters still have plenty to say to 21st century fans of the classic coming-of-age novel.
