r a p s y a in Foley Fun D Civic group picks longtime school board member BY JAKOB KOUNKEL STAFF WRITER
In choosing a grand marshal for the Foley Fun Days parade, the Foley Civic Group was looking for somebody who exemplifies what it means to be a member of the Foley community. They were looking for a leader who embodies the meaning of community service and has an admirable harmony with the members of their community. When Sharon Kipka’s name emerged as a possibility, there was no question she was deserving of the honor to serve as the Foley Fun Days parade grand marshal. Earlier this year, Kipka was also selected as an allstate school board member byy the Minnesota School Boards oards Association. “I look for magic inn our wonderful, rural community,” Kipka said. “I’m honored and humbled to have been selected.” Juanita Beauchamp is a member of the Foley Civic Group which organizes Foley Fun Days. She said there were many suggestions that Kipka serve as grandd marshal in 2022. One of the things that stuck out to the civic group was that Kipka often sends letters to high achievers in Foley for personal or community accomplishments. “We wanted somebody who has great leadership, community service and a great rapport with the community,” Beauchamp said. “(Kipka) is exactly that person.” Kipka has served on the Foley School Board for more than 22 years, and she is known for being an astute and experienced board member with great acumen for schoolrelated decisions. She is a volunteer for Community Action Respecting Elders, a Foley nonprofit focused on helping elderly in the area stay in their homes, and she is a member of the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Gilman.

In everything she does, Kipka works diligently to ensure the community is better today than it was the day before and better tomorrow than it is today. For the long-serving member of the Foley School Board, that often means starting at the foundation of what makes a community great: A reliable school system and an immense focus on children. “I don’t do anything tre-
mendous,” Kipka said. “It’s jjust about being there for things that matter … I just think it should be relationship ships and people first. All pe people, but definitely the sstudents.” As parents with students in the Foley School District know, Kipka is seemingly everywhere. She hands out programs at the school play, helps the sschool kitchen staff durin ing the summer meal progra gram, can be seen at sporting aactivities, and is always well-p well-prepared and in attendance at school board meetings. Not only is she there for students and the community, but she is also enthusiastic and jubilant wherever she goes. She expresses and stresses the importance of a thriving community and is working to make Foley a better place for everybody. “This is my community, and I want to see it thrive,” Kipka said. “The people here are good, and they look after one another. And, if some-
body’s hurting, they help them. That’s where I get it from.” Kipka was born and raised in the Foley community. It is from her time spent in and around Foley that has cemented the person she is today, Kipka said. In other words, the many things that make the Foley community great – a strong work ethic and a focus on community, family and faith – are the same things that molded Kipka’s character to this day. “I love this rural community,” Kipka said. “It makes my heart sing.” As Kipka prepares for the Foley Fun Days parade, she offered a piece of advice to those in the community. “Right now, our world is filled with a lot of sadness and heartbreak, and as 2022 grand marshal, I’d like you to take your child or grandchild’s hand, forget about the complications of life and celebrate summer,” Kipka said. “Make an effort to support your local (Foley) Fun Days vendors, look for the joy and good right here in your wonderful, rural community of Foley.”
