REVENGE FOR REPEAT: Bluejays rally to beat Titans for 2nd consecutive section championship

As the lower seed in the section this season, the Bluejays bleachers were on the visiting side of the New Ulm football field this year in the 3AAA championship. With not a lot of seating space compared to the home side with the press box, many Waseca rooters had to stand on their feet to watch their Jays battle the team that handed them their only loss of the regular season. The bleachers on the other end of the field had plenty to root for during the game, with the TCU Titans having a 24-14 lead late. The away section ended up being the ones that saw their team hoist the Section 3AAA trophy though, with the Bluejays running to their side in the end. No. 2 seeded Waseca went up against top-seeded Tri-City United in the section title game on Friday night. While they did not play their best football at times, with them committing four turnovers in the contest, the Bluejays ended up coming from behind, scoring 14 unanswered points to win 28-24. The victory secured their second-straight trip to the state tournament. “The momentum in the third quarter, early fourth was so heavily in favor of TCU,”

Friday Was Give Back Day for Fairmont High School Students

FAIRMONT – Fairmont High School students spent Friday afternoon giving back to their community through the annual Cardinals Give Back Day.Around 60 students in grades 9 through 12, organized into six advisory groups, helped at eight locations throughout the community. Projects included raking leaves, trimming bushes and trees, and other yard work for residents who needed an extra hand. Advisor Erik Walker says the program is about more than getting work done. It teaches students the importance of helping others and improving their community without expecting anything in return. Several residents who have received help over the years say they appreciate both the students’ hard work and their kindness, especially those who are no longer able to handle yard work themselves. Students also say they enjoy spending time with friends while making a difference for others. Applications for assistance through the Cardinals Give Back program are expected to reopen in August and October of 2027.

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
