The North and Tartan choir program had a very successful day at the MSHSL Large Group Vocal Music Contest held at Stillwater Area High School on Tuesday, April 22nd. The North Concert Choir earned an excellent rating and the North Varsity Choir earned a Superior. The Tartan Concert and Varsity Choirs both earned a Superior.

This year, the Tartan Concert Choir commissioned the composer Ryan Main to write a brand new piece of choral music. The choir will present the world premiere of Ryan's piece, "The River" at their spring concert on May 22. Before the concert, Ryan will fly in from Kansas City to meet the Tartan Choir students and collaborate with them.

Last week, a total of 48 Tartan students who have expressed interest in healthcare had the incredible opportunity to attend a Cadaver Lab at the University of Wisconsin - Stout. Students visited stations led by Dr. Alex Hall and 5 TAs, learning about the human body in a hands-on evironment.

Science teacher Erik Tvedten, who planned and led the trip, noted that students were "engaged, mature and wanted more time at each station."

Last Tuesday, April 29, student athletes from North and Tartan, and Tartan BPA students were recognized for all their achievements at the April School Board meeting. Congratulations!

Last week, Tartan BPA had their semi-annual blood drive. They successfully got 43 donations, which saves over 120 people!

This program is paid for by the Minnesota Department of Education After-School Community Learning grant and will be offered at no charge to participants. The main purpose 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. We are currently looking to hire high school students who have a passion that they would like to share. Employment begins in September. Call 651-748-7431 for details.

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.
