You’re Invited: Coffee Hour this SaturdayThis Saturday, September 30 at 9:00 a.m. I'll be hosting a community coffee hour at Dunn Bros in Apple Valley (15265 Galaxie Ave.) to gather input and check in about what’s on our neighbors’ minds. Everyone is welcome to attend this casual, nonpartisan event.
Congrats ISD #196 National Merit and College Board Scholars!Kudos to the students in ISD #196 in being selected to the National Merit Scholarship Program and the College Board’s African American and Hispanic recognition programs. You can read more in the Sun Current’s news coverage here. Our communities’ students continue to make us proud and I’m grateful to all the teachers, administrators, staff, and parents for serving as positive leaders in our kids’ academic growth.
Minnesota Zoo’s Jack-o-Lantern SpectacularThe start of fall also means the return of the Minnesota Zoo’s Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular, which starts this Saturday and runs through November 4. Tickets can be purchased at the link above. It’s a fun way to celebrate the start of a new season and admire the creativity of local artists’ pumpkin carving skills from across the state. It’s also an opportunity to check out the new Treetop Trail if you haven’t had a chance to yet!
