Today we received 600 backpacks for Ready, Set, Achieve thanks to @BereanMN and their partners including ReStored Thrift Store and the Lakeville Area community members who donated during Pan-O-Prog. We are so grateful for this amazing community effort!
Many thanks to @mnstatefair@ValleyfairMN@SeversFallFest@mnzoo and many others hosting holiday light shows. Great to have these opportunities to celebrate the season and make family memories in this challenging year. Hope to see them back next year!
So proud of @JeremyHolien as he delivered the commencement address today to a university that means so much to us. Congrats Dragons! #liveindraft#msumalum
In order for a school-wide focus on #SEL to take hold & be effective, every adult must take ownership of their role in the work. #SEL becoming a part of a school's culture should be the goal of every member of your faculty & staff. #wholeschoolapproach#systemicSEL#kidsdeserveit

If you're in need of a lesson for the election tomorrow we created a very easy-to-use resource to connect the concepts of Character to the current election landscape to help students K-12 unpack how something like Kindness or Empathy is presently relevant. Links in comments below
If you want proof #SEL is ‘the plate’, ask a parent what their wish for their child is going back to school today. I can promise you it’s all about relationships and adults helping them navigate this transition well. Let us never forget we are receiving someone’s greatest gift.
Shout out to ALL of our @LakevilleAreaPS D&I teams for facilitating such meaningful #SEL work during our workshop weeks. Your dedication to action planning over the summer shows. Keep up your great work as we advance our SEL ingredients through sound implementation practices.
Watching this again with my daughter, remembering exactly how we felt sitting in section 310 that night. Especially this point where things looked a little concerning. #skol
What an amazing day! 1037 students served, dedicated and hard-working volunteers, supportive donors, and a planning committee that met the challenge of a new venue and format. It’s humbling to be part off this extraordinary day and I’m so thankful for all who made it possible.
Update: 1,037 Lakeville Area students got their school supplies at Ready, Set, Achieve! This is double the amount of supplies we have ever handed out before! Thank you to all who donated and volunteered!
From in boxes to deployment ready. My heart is full tonight. About 700 mobile school supply packs done, with more coming. Tomorrow is the day! We still need help from 4-7p.m tomorrow, so join us. It’s one of the best days of the year. https://t.co/hpxL1ENMbk
