Once again, I find myself noting how time flies. Winter break has begun. There is no school through Monday, January 2.

I hope everyone is able to enjoy time to rest and relax during this time away from school. Read a book or two. Maybe take a family outing to your local library! Weather permitting, get outside to enjoy our Minnesota winter. Enjoy your family and friends, get a good nap or two, enjoy a favorite movie or sports team. Whatever the activity may be for you and your family, I hope you find quality time together.

We’ll welcome everyone back to school on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. Stay safe and enjoy the break.

Take care,

Judi Kahoun,

Principal

Our partner in redesigning our learning spaces, Wold, has published a piece on how classrooms of the future will support the individual needs of learners. Take a look at this 2-minute read that highlights our approach to personalized learning.

Multiage 3/4 classes used knowledge from their Wit and Wisdom reading lessons to create a project inspired by the artist Jackson Pollock in their visual arts class. Pollack created art in such a unique way. He really put himself and his emotions into his art by painting abstract art on the floor and students enjoyed creating art using his technique!

Miss Myra and the Moonshiners bring their formidable 5-piece swing band to the Live on 65 stage on January 5 at Spring Lak Park High School. They are the latest to play the Live on 65 performance series that aims to bring world-class entertainment to the North Metro.

Thanks to generous sponsorship from the Spring Lake Park Lion's Club, tickets are priced for the whole family to attend at $12 for adults and $5 for students/children. Purchase tickets online or day-of at the box office.

We recently caught up with Myra Burnette (Miss Myra) to learn more about the band and what Live on 65 audiences can expect. She spoke with us from New Orleans where she is surrounded by guitars, banjos and a sousaphone and playing music with the locals.

Read the Q&A with Miss Myra.
