Waconia paraprofessional earns associations' top honor

Amanda Phenix, a special education paraprofessional in Waconia Public Schools, is Education Minnesota’s 2026-2027 ESP of the Year. The winner was announced Oct. 24 at reception in St. Paul. Phenix has worked in the Waconia Public Schools for 21 years. As a special education paraprofessional, she works directly with students on Individualized Education Plans to meet the education goals established by their case manager and special education team. She does this through intentional engagement with students, checking in on their emotional and physical health throughout the day, and collaborating with teachers to shape lessons that meet students where they are at. Phenix says that building trust is one of the most important pieces of her job. “Building positive, lasting relationships with students in this setting is not optional—it’s essential,” she said. “It can take weeks, even months, to earn their trust. But once it’s there … students begin to open up, show up differently, and find success academically, socially, and emotionally.” Phenix’s colleagues praise her versatility and patience. Paul Tordoff, special education director at Waconia Public Schools, said Phenix “possesses a unique combination of compassion, expertise, and unwavering patience that makes her an ideal fit for our Waconia Middle School

Turnovers prove costly in Wayzata football defeat

After shellacking White Bear Lake 63-48 in the opening round of the state Class 6A football playoffs on Oct. 30, the Wayzata football team couldn’t provide an encore against No. 1 seed Champlin Park on Friday, Nov. 6. The Rebels used home-field advantage and four touchdown passes by quarterback Cash Miller to end the Trojans’ 2026 season by a final score of 48-13. Four turnovers took the steam out of the Trojans’ offense and for the first time this season senior quarterback Thor Soukup didn’t throw a touchdown pass. Wayzata scored its first touchdown of the game on a 4-yard run by senior halfback Michael Criswell in the second quarter to tie the score 7-7, but that was the last offensive bright spot until late in the fourth quarter when Alex McGarvey's 13-yard pass to Parker Milkes accounted for Wayzata’s final touchdown of the season. With the loss, Wayzata finished the season 5-5 overall – A far cry from last season’s 1-8 overall mark. First-year head coach Derrin Lamker pumped new life into the program and the first-round playoff victory broke a playoff drought that dated back to the 2021 season. Coach Lamker’s reputation as an offensive genius was verified

Centennial ends Eden Prairie’s football hopes 31-13

There was stunned silence in Eden Prairie’s football stands during the first half of a state Class 6A playoff game against Centennial Nov. 6. The halftime scoreboard showed the Eagles down 31-0. Head coach Mike Grant has not been in a situation like that in many years, and all he could do at halftime was make plans for a comeback. That comeback happened, but it wasn’t enough. Two Eagle touchdowns in the second half and a clamp-down by EP’s defense left the home team short in a season-ending 31-13 loss. “We had a tough night,” coach Grant said. “Centennial is a really physical team. They had no turnovers and made no mistakes. We obviously played a lot better in the second half, but Centennial kept the ball on the ground. Their quarterback finished with 116 yards on 23 carries and they controlled the ball.” Centennial had the ball for 25 minutes and 45 seconds of the 48-minute game. For a very rare time, Eden Prairie trailed in rushing yardage 290-217. Two seniors scored Eden Prairie’s touchdowns in the second half. Windlan Hall had the first score on one of his best runs of the season. He ran right, then cut

ISD 728 weighs facility options after referendum defeat

Unofficial results from all 34 precincts showed 20,925 voters, or 55.46%, opposed the proposal, compared with 16,807 voters, or 44.54%, who supported it. The 4,118-vote margin left the district facing the challenge of addressing needs that Superintendent Andy Almos says remain even though the proposal did not receive enough support to move forward. “While we are disappointed, we respect the voters’ decision,” Almos said in a written response to the Star News. “We now need to listen carefully, understand the concerns that shaped the outcome, determine a path forward, and understand the tradeoffs of not moving this proposal.” Almos said he was encouraged by the community’s engagement and the questions raised during the district’s information process. He was hopeful heading into Election Day but did not take the outcome for granted. The result, he said, does not necessarily indicate which parts of the proposal voters opposed or what concerns ultimately determined the outcome. “It tells us this particular proposal did not receive enough support,” he said. “The result alone does not tell us whether the deciding concern was cost, the combination of projects, timing or something else.” The proposal included up to $350 million in bonds and a 10-year capital

Three Tonka girls named All-State in soccer

When the Minnesota High School Girls Soccer Coaches’ Association announced its All-State selections for 2026, Minnetonka head coach Jeff Hopkins was thrilled to see three of his players on the list. Coach Hopkins knew there was a possibility of that happening. The Skippers had one of the best records in school history with a final mark of 14-3-2 and they earned a berth in the State Class AAA Tournament. In all respects, it was a successful season, with a great defensive effort at the heart of that success. “We had 14 shutouts this season,” coach Hopkins noted. One of the All-State selections, senior goalie Lillian Jones, had a lot to do with that. “LJ and AJ Thorpe shared the goalkeeping,” coach Hopkins said. “For her varsity career, LJ had 33 shutouts, which is an incredible number. She made huge, defining saves to help us get to state. We have been blessed with a lot of great keepers at Minnetonka. Lizzy Crist is the record holder with 38 career shutouts.” Jones’ goals-against average was 0.53 this season. Thorpe, who had fewer minutes than Jones, posted a goals-against average of 0.21. Jones was named first-team All-State in her senior season. Minnetonka’s other
