Thank You to Our Paraprofessionals!
Our paraprofessionals make a real difference for students every day. They bring patience, kindness, and support, helping students feel safe and confident. In honor of Paraprofessional Recognition Week in Minnesota, help us say "thank you" to our paraprofessionals for the care they show and the commitment they bring to our students and families.
Community Care in Action
Our December food drive filled shelves and hearts—but the need continues to grow. Join our districtwide food and personal products drive now through January 30 to support the RAHS Food Shelf and help ensure our community has the food and care items they need. Donation bins are located in every school.
🎳✨ Cosmic Bowling at Edgerton! 🌈🕺
Edgerton Elementary students wrapped up their bowling unit with Cosmic Bowling, an annual favorite in physical education. Candi Pierre, the school’s physical education teacher, transforms the gym with glowing lights, music – and the students have a ton of fun!
Exploring Minnesota History
Little Canada 5th and 6th grade students visited the Minnesota History Center, inspired by The Stories We Keep and Reframing Our Stories, highlighting Native American photos and stories. Students also explored the Julia Child: Recipes for Life exhibit and enjoyed many favorites from the permanent collection.
Honoring Native American Heritage Through Play!
Harambee Elementary hosted Nashke Games with founders Tony Drews and Mindy Meyers. Students explored Ojibwe language and culture through storytelling and play.
"It was incredible to see how quickly the kids were using Ojibwe words and to see the big smiles and positive energy," said Environmental Education Specialist Jenny Eckman.
Supporting Our Families
We know the government shutdown brings uncertainty, especially about SNAP and food access. All students still receive free meals, and our Food Resources page links families to trusted local assistance. We’ll update it regularly—please reach out if needed.
