Scene Around 622
North Choir reunion
This April marked 50 years since the North choir from 1973-74 took a 17 day trip to Europe, where they sang in churches, castles, museums, parks, and on a double decker bus.
Now 50 years later, many members of the choir came together again to reminisce, sing a few songs, and make new memories.
Last Thursday, Mr. Carl Lipke was able to direct his former choir again. Mr. Lipke is 94 years young and is still respected and adored by many former students. All alumni choir members are now in their late 60’s but still have fond memories of this choir trip.

Community Resources
Measles and the MMR vaccine
Minnesota has identified cases of measles in children who recently returned to the U.S. after traveling internationally. The decline in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage, coupled with the increase in measles disease nationally and internationally, puts Minnesota at risk of additional measles cases and a measles outbreak.
MDH has information about measles and the MMR vaccine: https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/measles/measlesfacts.html
If your child has any symptoms, please contact your medical provider and school nurse.
Washington County Vaccination Clinics
Washington County is offering monthly vaccination clinics. Appointments can be scheduled on the Washington County website.
