Anonymous donor gives $5,000 to help Monticello Middle School students

MONTICELLO — An anonymous donor is helping ensure that financial hardship doesn’t prevent Monticello Middle School students from having the essentials they need or participating in school activities. The Monticello School Board unanimously accepted a $5,000 donation designated for middle school students in need during its Nov. 2 meeting. The money will primarily help cover basic necessities, including clothing, essential school supplies and equipment. It will also help offset costs for families so students can participate in field trips and grade-level activities. According to the district, the donation comes from a longtime supporter who has made similar contributions in the past. “The donor met with our Student Center team this fall to learn more about current student needs. They have generously provided similar donations in the past,” Monticello Middle School Principal Jeff Scherber said. “During our meeting, the team shared how previous funds were used and highlighted the positive impact on our students. We are deeply grateful to have community members who are so committed to supporting our schools and helping families overcome basic needs barriers.” The money will be managed through a dedicated account alongside other student-support grants. Families and students who need assistance can contact school counselors directly,

Mistakes pile up as Knights football is eliminated

St. Michael-Albertville football's momentum stopped after a first-round upset to Woodbury, as Rosemount beat them in the round of 16 to end their season in the state tournament. The Knights crushed the Royals in the first round, winning on the road as the six-seed over the three-seed in Woodbury. On Nov. 6, the Knights lost to Rosemount 35-7, not repeating the upset from last season or last week and falling to the No. 2 team in their quadrant of the bracket. The first half was all Rosemount. The Irish scored three times in the first half to make it 21-0 over the Knights. In the second quarter, the Knights showed signs of life when down 14-0. After a punt, the Irish fumbled on the ensuing drive thanks to forced fumble by defensive back Kyan Beaumont. Beaumont and the Knights took over on their opponent's 24 and drove down inside the Irish 10. A costly fumble coughed up a golden opportunity for the Knights offense to cut the lead in half with the first half time ticking down. The Irish capitalized and scored once more before the break. The second half had as much scoring, but the Knights joined the fray

Maple Grove hopes for grant for 82nd Avenue/Main Street project

At its Nov. 2 meeting, the Maple Grove City Council approved support of the city’s Local Road Improvement Program grant application for funding for the 82nd Avenue and Main Street Area Rehabilitation Project. In May 2025, the council initially approved improvements to Main Street between Lakeview Drive and Weaver Lake Road, Lakeview Drive and 82nd Avenue (near Life Time and the Maple Grove Library). These plans were paused after developments at the Maple Grove Community Center and a possible performing arts center area. A feasibility report was ordered in February. The plans for the area includes new bituminous roadways, roundabouts at Main Street and 82nd Avenue and Main Street and Lakeview Drive, walking paths along the roadways, and new landscaping. These improvements would help with future traffic flows from the Maple Grove Community Center’s expansion and the Maple Grove Performing Arts Center located in the road project area. Proposed construction costs for the project area estimated at $5.95 million. City staff is looking to apply for $1.5 million in MnDOT 2026 Local Road Improvement Program grant funds to help pay for the project. According to city staff, “The grant program provides funding assistance to local agencies for constructing or reconstructing
