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,

QUARTERFINAL WIN: Deibele propels Magic football to state semifinals

Monticello football defeated Bloomington Jefferson 42-7 Friday in the Class 5A state quarterfinals, advancing to the state semifinals for the first time in program history. The Magic and Jaguars played at a neutral site in Forest Lake. After kicking off to the Jaguars, the Magic got one of the best starts they could have hoped for. The Jaguars gained five yards on their first two plays, bringing up third-and-5 from their own 23. The Jaguars quarterback escaped pressure to his right, then scrambled all the way back to his left before firing an errant pass into the arms of Magic defensive back Carson Deibele. The early interception turned into six points when Deibele followed running back Cale Holthaus on an outside run on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Truit Garcia Silva missed the extra point wide left, leaving the Magic with a 6-0 lead. A defensive stop and Jaguars punt gave Monticello the ball at its own 40. The Magic milked the clock as the game moved into the second quarter. On third-and-16 from the Jaguars 38, Deibele took a bad snap, broke a couple of sack attempts and scrambled 37 yards down the right sideline to the 1. Max

ISD 110 looks at middle school HVAC project, enrollment

The Waconia School Board at its Oct. 26 meeting continued to mull a potential indoor air quality (IAQ) project at Waconia Middle School. Michael Hart with consultant PTMA Financial Solutions and Pam Carman, School District 110 director of finance and operations, presented the school board with funding options and potential tax impacts for a future project that could approach $12 million, and another $5 million for a possible roof replacement. The presentation followed a discussion at an Oct. 12 work session, during which the board identified replacement of the middle school’s cooling system as ISD110’s highest facilities priority due to the continued failure of the system and the high costs associated with implementing temporary fixes. No action was taken at the latest meeting; however, board members reached a consensus to consider a resolution at the Nov. 9 work session to approve an updated 10-year long-term facilities maintenance plan and declare the district’s intent to issue LTFM bonds. If approved, that would set a tentative timeline for the project. That would include Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) approval of the plan in December 2026, design work and construction bidding in 2027, with construction of the project primarily taking place in the
