The Adult learners at Harmony Adult Education Center held their annual "End-of-Year" Picnic celebration. Though classes run all year long, it was a great time to stop and enjoy a variety of multicultural foods, the beautiful weather, and some laughter with friends. The games played proved that cooperation and teamwork really do make the dream work! Congratulations to all who are graduating with their GED or Nursing certificate this week, and to all who have come this far! A special thanks to Raising Cane's for the several gallons of lemonade they so generously donated.

Do you need something for your child to do the week of June 10-June 15?

Check out the youth enrichment classes here.

The Community Ed. Dept. has been awarded a 3 year grant of $1.5 million dollars by the MDE to create new afterschool programming options for middle school students. The result of this grant will be the creation of the afterschool program F.L.I.G.H.T. (Future Leaders Inspiring Growth, Honor and Talent).

F.L.I.G.H.T will be implemented at both John Glenn and Skyview Middle School as a 5-day week afterschool program, with a daily operating schedule of 2-6 p.m. F.L.I.G.H.T. will be a completely free program, and will be open to all students attending either John Glenn or Skyview.

The main purpose of F.L.I.G.H.T. will be to provide students with a wide variety of enrichment clubs, academic support, leadership opportunities and culturally affirming clubs. Students will be able to participate in clubs with focuses on art, science, financial literacy, athletics, cultural appreciation, theater, debate, music and much more. Many clubs will also contain an academic focus that will qualify them as Targeted Services classes and that will allow students to improve vital academic skills while enrolled in the club. Clubs will be run by a combination of licensed teachers, paraprofessionals, outside vendors and student leaders from within ISD 622.

Special thanks goes out to the committee who designed and wrote the grant proposal that created this wonderful opportunity; Kurt New, Laura Green-Lee Karp, and Rebekah Doyle.

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.
