Hey Gov. Walz — Opt-In!

In the last several years, Minnesota’s education ranking has tanked. Sadly, test scores have shown that less than half of Minnesota students can read at grade level and less than half are proficient in math. It’s clear that our students need help to get back to where we once were in terms of academic excellence. Our state should be pursuing every avenue necessary to get our children the education they deserve.

'It shows people really care about their public schools'

School districts across the Iron Range and entire state will be receiving a little financial boost. A Minnesota Constitutional amendment on the state ballot was overwhelmingly approved by state voters Tuesday, increasing funding to all school districts from the Permanent School Fund. With 100 percent of precincts reported, the final vote was 2,067,164, or an estimated 72.91 percent in favor of the amendment and 666,208 no. The number of blanks was estimated at 101,783. “I was just pleased with the results,” Sen. Mary Kunesh, DFL-New Brighton, Minnesota Senate chief author of the amendment said. “It’s not going to fill all the holes in the bucket of education, but we know that every little bit helps. I think about the cost of transportation and the cost of diesel, so this is one way that Minnesotan’s were able to show their support for schools.” “I’m incredibly happy, Rep. Spencer Igo, R-Wabana Township, Minnesota House of Representatives chief author of the measure said. “That was an amazing show of support for the Permanent School Fund, but most of all for all the schools and the students in the state. Everyone came together to do good for all.” What is means is that each

Vidmar steps into an unfamiliar role and earns trip to state

HIBBING—When Avery Kukowski went down with an injury, was Ava Vidmar ready for a change of responsibility? The answer was a resounding, ‘Yes.’ The Hibbing High School sophomore went from being the Bluejackets No. 2 runner to the No. 1 runner, and she responded well in her new role. Vidmar placed sixth overall at the Section 7AA Meet last week, and will now particpate in the State Class AA Meet, which begins Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at the Majestic Oaks Golf Course in Ham Lake. As for as Hibbing coach James Plese is concerned, Vidmar exceeded his expectations. “The only reason I can say that is that Ava has been pretty consistent this season as our No. 2 runner,” Plese said. “It has been a rollercoaster as to whether people are injured, battling through different issues or some plateaus that we hit. “If it wasn’t Avery, we weren’t sure where the girls were going to be. We knew that Ava was our next best, but we knew it was a long shot. She exceeded expectations.” Kukowski tried to give it a go at sections, but she hadn’t run for three weeks. Still, the Hibbing senior placed 18th. “I tip my

Blue Out gives students hands-on experience beyond the classroom

GRAND RAPIDS — What started as an idea to increase student engagement became a real-world learning opportunity for students on Minnesota North's Itasca campus. When Student Senate President Izabel Pehl proposed creating an activity to bring more students together and support athletics, students in Nick Rothstein's marketing course were given the opportunity to make it happen. Rather than working through a hypothetical case study, they developed and promoted the October 7 "Blue Out" event at a Minnesota North Itasca volleyball game. The initiative brought together Student Senate, Athletics, the Itasca Campus Foundation, and Rothstein's classes to boost attendance, build school spirit, and raise funds for the Itasca Campus Food Shelf. "I'm a big proponent of practical applications of material," Rothstein said. "When students see how these concepts are applied to real-life situations in a meaningful way, it helps make them more concrete and helps students truly engage with the material." Students developed and implemented the event's marketing campaign, creating social media content, printed advertisements, and promotional messaging tailored to different audiences. They also introduced the "Blue Out" theme, coordinated giveaways for the first 50 students to attend, and promoted free pizza and rally towel sales. "We catered our messaging to

GRHS Homecoming drive raises money, stocks school pantry

GRAND RAPIDS — Grand Rapids High School students raised $738 and collected a large number of hygiene items during this year’s Homecoming week to help restock the school’s Clothing and Food Pantry. The Student Council organized the annual fall fundraiser as a Fall Sanitation Drive. Students were asked to donate deodorant, shampoo, conditioner and body wash for the pantry, as well as tissues for the school’s counseling office. Donated items earned points for students’ grade levels in the Homecoming Cup, the annual competition between classes during Homecoming week. Students also raised money by taking part in the Powderpuff games and a cornhole tournament. Each player paid a $5 entry fee, and all proceeds went to the pantry. Jinnea Zenzen, a social studies teacher and Student Council adviser at GRHS, said the drive gave students a way to come together at the start of the school year and support their school community. She credited the Student Council for organizing the effort and keeping up momentum throughout the week, and thanked the student body for taking part. The GRHS Clothing and Food Pantry provides clothing, food and other essentials to students in the school.
