Lakes International Language Academy recently received a grant to purchase a classroom set of ukuleles as part of a “Music for Well-Being” project for the lower school’s grades K to 5 at the main campus in Forest Lake. The LILA music department chose to request funding for ukuleles because the ukulele is small and easy to hold, and with just four soft strings, it is often easier than other stringed instruments for young students to play.
“Ukuleles are accessible for students with difficulty holding instruments and students who struggle with attention, focus, or learning in general,” LILA music instructor Carlos Pilan said in a press release. “Research shows that music engages the entire brain, especially when the person is actively involved in making the music through singing or playing an instrument. We think ukuleles will be a fantastic addition to our program for everyone.”broadstreet.zone(48036);

On Sept. 21, Forest Lake Area School Board members discussed in detail spending priorities should voters approve a per pupil levy increase in a special election Nov. 7 The district is proposing a two-question referendum that would revoke the existing operating referendum revenue authorization of $461.67 per student and replace it with $1,211.67 per student. The other question would authorize $9 million in bonding authority for athletic field and arts facility improvements.
The bond request was scrutinized by Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Casselius and her team based on a series of criteria including geographic area and population, a list of existing school facilities, a list of specific deficiencies, a thorough description of the project, and a specification of the source of project funding. Casselius ultimately gave the project her stamp of approval.broadstreet.zone(48036);

Two years ago, I found a steal of a deal for a round-trip flight to Philadelphia: $29.54, to be specific. As someone who loves adventure, it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Much to the dismay and worry of my mother, I boarded the flight without any official plans other than a place to crash at night. I toured around Philadelphia’s center city in excitement and awe as the history books I had once read came to life in front of me that day. The next day, I picked up a bus ticket to Washington D.C. and traveled to our nation’s capital. Touring around that day opened my eyes to just how much our nation has been through and just how much it still has left to see.
Among the things I wanted to experience in D.C. was the Newseum, an entire museum dedicated to journalism in its different forms,

The sound of air horns blasting and cheers from supporters of Minnesota Special Olympics filled the freeway Saturday morning as 96 truck drivers took to I-35 with Special Olympic athletes in their cabs. Families of the athletes, supporters, and police officers from all around the metro area, as well as truck drivers from all across the nation, met at Running Aces Casino & Racetrack in Columbus for the annual Minnesota Truck Convoy.
The convoy is a fundraising event for the Minnesota Special Olympics in which athletes get to ride in a truck with a driver in the convoy. While some truckers are new, many truckers return year after year and build relationships with the athletes.broadstreet.zone(48036);
