5th and 6th Grade Summer Orchestra Performed National Anthem at TWINS Game!
5th and 6th graders who participated in Summer Orchestra were invited to perform the National Anthem at the Twins game on September 24. Around 200 students learned and memorized the Anthem and performed on the field at the start of the game. The night was unforgettable, with the blast of fireworks, cheers from the crowd, and the power of their music filling the stadium.
Congratulations to all our 5th and 6th graders for their hard work and fantastic performance!
Walk, Bike, or Roll to School Day - Oct. 9
National School Lunch Week
We are celebrating National School Lunch Week from October 7-16! A few highlights from the week include:
The Minnesota Great Apple Crunch will be held on October 7. A local Gala apple from Rabideaux Farms will be offered at lunch.
Students can show off their photography skills by entering the School Lunch Photo Contest. Submissions are accepted October 7 - 16.
Locally-made Sambusas will be a featured entree choice on October 16. Students will be able to choose from a beef or a lentil Sambusa. Click here to view the online lunch menu.
Sambusas are a traditional Somali staple. Hoyo, the producer of these Sambusas, describes them as "delicious fried pastries certain to transport students and staff to a whole new world of taste" Each Sambusa is hand-made in Bloomington, MN.
Ensemble Choir
Ensemble choir is a before school group open to all students who would enjoy a more challenging singing experience or are unable to participate in choir during the school day because of band/orchestra. The group meets Monday and Thursday mornings at 6:30 starting on 10/7 and will have concerts on 12/10 and 5/8. Cost to participate is $12. If your student is interested, please fill out this form.

Patriot's Pen
Do you enjoy writing? Do you like having others read your writings? Would you like to get paid to write? The Brooker-Edmond VFW Post 724 is sponsoring a Patriot’s Pen essay writing contest for students in grades 6-8. The essay’s theme this year is “My Voice in America’s Democracy”. Your Social Studies teacher will have entry forms available for you and a screencast, which details the specific requirements for these essays. Cash prizes are awarded locally; you could also qualify for district, state, and national prizes if your essay is selected. 6th grade MN Studies Teacher, Ms. Hallenberger (Room 109), can answer questions you may have. The entries will be collected in the front office for pickup by 10/29 at 2:30 pm so we can get them to the VFW Post representatives by the due date on the form. Share your thoughts and writings!
Safe Routes to School survey
The City of New Brighton is seeking input from District families as they work to create a Safe Routes to School plan. The plan will recommend ways to make walking and biking to school easier, safer and more comfortable for students and families at [insert your school name].
Please share your thoughts in this quick survey before October 15.
In addition to the survey, you can also use this interactive map to comment on opportunities and barriers to safely and comfortably walking and biking to school. You can also share your existing walking and biking routes.
High school events: Know before you go
Irondale High School and Mounds View High School welcome middle school families and students to their after-school and evening events. Before you go to a football game this fall, here are some things to keep in mind to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
Students should always carry a student ID or other identification when attending high school games.
Only students attending the home school and the opposing team school will be allowed to attend athletic events.
Middle School Students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Parent/Guardians are asked to supervise elementary and middle school aged students they accompany at all times.
Bags are prohibited past the entrance gate to our stadiums. This includes backpacks, purses, tote bags, cross-body bags, etc.
Students are prohibited from entering with a ball of any kind (this is an ongoing safety concern as balls have been thrown in close vicinity of guests who are watching the game).
There is no re-entry if a spectator leaves.
At any given time, students and guests may be asked to vacate the premises without a refund.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in our efforts to provide a safe and joyful experience for our students and guests.
Go Knights! Go Mustangs!
