Connexus partners with city for upgrades to food shelf

n a d t c s e e t rve o r P

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

CIRCLE PINES — Visitors to the Centennial Community Food Shelf will surely notice a difference when they walk into the food shelf space in the lower level of City Hall.

Executive Director Bridget McPhillips described the former space as “dark and dingy.” It is far from that now, thanks to a partnership between the food shelf, Connexus Energy and the city of Circle Pines.

Connexus Energy, based in Ramsey, is Minnesota’s largest electric cooperative.

It provides electricity and related products to member residents and businesses. Connexus serves more than 138,000 members in Anoka, Chisago, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Sherburne and Washington counties.

City Administrator Patrick Antonen recently walked through the food shelf space to learn about the needed lighting upgrades when he spotted a “donated by Connexus Energy” plaque on a freezer.

The wheels started turning.

“It was not a very inviting atmosphere for people to come in and get what they need,” Antonen explained. “That’s the main reason we wanted to help out. I didn’t want to see any of the money they have raised go to upgrading their lights.

I wanted to see them be able to purchase more food to help out all the folks that really need it right now.”

Unless the judge delays it, next week begins the televised trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with the killing of George Floyd. His death on Chicago Avenue still echoes across the country, and puts Chauvin and a metro police department on trial for use of force.

In the northeast suburbs, neighborhood policing is routine. Many suburban departments are using this time to examine how they train and restrain.

Press Publications asked four local and county departments about how they train and policies on restraining to give suburban residents perspective how local police departments respond.

As with any significant event in our profession, we use it as a catalyst for a thorough review of our practices and policies to ensure that we are accomplishing our mission to

protect and serve the community in a manner that preserves the public trust. For over 20 years we have not trained or authorized the practice of having a knee placed on the back of the neck, as we were concerned about potential injury to the neck and spinal cord of a person. Currently, if a knee is necessary to assist in controlling a person, it is placed on the shoulders, between the shoulder blades and away from the neck.

The practices we had in place years prior to the George Floyd incident were best practices that didn’t need addressing after his death.

How many staff are in your department today? How does this compare to 2020?

We had 310 full time, part time, and temporary staff and volunteers as of Jan. 1, 2020, and as of Jan. 1, 2021 have 330 full time, part time and temporary staff and volunteers.

How has the number of calls your agency responded to changed during the past year?

The number of calls for service our agency has received in 2019 and 2020 has stayed consistent.

PARTNERSHIP: Brightens up Centennial Community Food Shelf FROM PAGE 1

Connexus donated four freezers/coolers to the food shelf in 2013. Antonen reached out to Connexus to see if they would be willing to partner on the lighting project.

Initially, the conversation was about potential rebates for the various light fi xtures, However, Connexus ultimately agreed to fund the entire project. The inefficient incandescent lights that were original to the building in 1986 were swapped with more efficient LED lights.

Aid Electric Corporation pitched in a day’s worth of work for the project and the city’s public works staff put in manhours to lower the cost of the bill for the project. Antonen said a project that likely would have cost around $6,000 will now be closer to $3,000.

“We want to be a partner in our community,” said Jennifer Sweeney, a key account representative with Connexus. “Our goal is to be advocates for our customers, and the people who come here are probably Connexus members. It is all about being out in the community and doing good for the community.”

McPhillips said the food shelf typically serves an average of 225 families a month. Although the numbers are similar to what the food shelf saw before the pandemic, the clientele/demographics have changed. McPhillips explained that they have seen fewer senior citizens, and an increase in families due to job losses.

Thanks to the generosity of the community and the influx of donations during the pandemic, McPhillips said families are now able to visit the food shelf twice a month versus only once a month. She expects that will continue for the remainder of 2021.

Every two weeks, the food shelf purchases 10,000 pounds of food from Second Harvest Heartland. The food shelf also relies on food rescue from its partners, which include Festival Foods, Kwik Trip and Aldi. On average, a person leaves the food shelf with 44 pounds of groceries.

The Centennial Community Food Shelf, located in the lower level of Circle Pines City Hall, feels a lot brighter now thanks to new LED lights funded by Connexus Energy.

The food shelf is open from 4 to 6 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. There are no income requirements, and the food shelf will serve anyone from any zip code.

The newly installed lights are expected to last at least 10 years. Moreover, the food shelf should see a 50% reduction in energy consumption from lighting.

“It’s a pretty amazing transformation. It’s amazing to see how bright and shiny it is down there,” Antonen said.

Lead Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

Protecting progress

M

innesota Supreme Court Justice and Pro Football Hall of Fame member Alan Page recently made an appearance at a virtual White Bear Lake Rotary Club meeting.

The details of the event, shared by Rotarian Bob Timmons in the White Bear Press, refreshed my memory about a past speaking engagement by Page at a local high school that resonated with me and made a lasting impression.

A friend, who is an award winning documentary film maker, said that if you are still thinking about a film in the days and weeks after watching it for the first time, it was successful. I believe the same can be said for speeches and presentations.

One of the fundamental aspects about Alan Page’s visit that has stayed in my thoughts over time was his disarming candor. At the time, I remember thinking that the high school students in attendance were lucky to have an adult, especially someone with Angle of Page’s accomplishments, speak honestly and realistically to them View about some of the challenges in life that we face. Specifically, he shared Paul Dols that he was overwhelmed and had to withdraw from law school in his first attempt. He regrouped, tried again and succeeded. Fully admitting his highly competitive nature, he also acknowledged learning important lessons from the losses he has experienced. I thought that this type of meaningful, personal disclosure was refreshing in contrast with most of the cultivated and superficial celebrity presentations we are currently exposed to via social and other media.

Another aspect of his presentation in 2014 that has stayed with me is the concept of character development and maintenance. He said that each of us has the obligation to build rather than diminish the character of ourselves and others, adding that the foundational element to character is trustworthiness and that being trustworthy ties all aspects of character together. I also found it revelatory when he said that our character is not static. It’s something that we have to continue to work on throughout our lives.

As shared by Rotarian Bob Timmons, during the Rotary Club meeting Page spoke about the life changing importance of the landmark Supreme Court case of Brown vs. the Board of Education that ruled that the racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. He was only 8 years old at the time but said he had an intuitive sense that the ruling would change society for the better.

Mainly because I wasn’t born yet or was just a little kid when much of the landmark progress in civil rights occurred, I made the assumption that significant progress had been made and many of the issues of racial inequality in the United States were well on the way to being resolved. Some of the events that have unfolded over the past year have unfortunately shown otherwise. Throughout my life I’ve occasionally encountered people with racist points of view, but was under the impression they were in the distinct minority. The challenges we have faced and are still dealing with have revealed some stark societal divides that are far more dramatic and potentially dangerous than I ever imagined.

During a recent Minnesota Health Department update that thankfully had more good news than bad, I heard a health care official use the phrase “protecting progress” in reference to the current status of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state. It might be an example of something hiding in plain sight, but I don’t recall hearing the phrase before and think along with the continuing efforts to manage COVID-19, it could also be applied to a variety of lengthy, ungoing challenges, including civil rights.

Staying optimistic during a pandemic

H

aving an optimistic view of the future is important to your health and to a sense of community. It isn’t always easy, and an optimistic attitude can sometimes come and go based upon the situation. But being able to see a more positive view of your future is key to that future happening.

The pandemic has been devastating.

There have been 500,000 deaths in the United States – that’s half-amillion families who’ve had their world torn apart. And many ravaged Movers & more by the illness have survived, Shakers recovering Dave in whole or Bartholomay in pieces.

Businesses have been turned upside down; children’s education and mental health seriously impacted; the list goes on and on of the damage inflicted by this global pandemic. It is an unprecedented situation that is difficult to navigate through and come out alive and grateful. And like many things in our country, the devastation hasn’t been fairly distributed and divides us.

But we all need to fi nd, deep down inside each of us, the

ability to face this pandemic with a toughness, with a sense of resolve, with a gritty ‘you can knock me down but I’m going to get right back up’ attitude.

Because in the end, your attitude and mindset will make a difference. Believing in a brighter future helps make that future happen. Consider the Henry Ford quote, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.”

The news today is that a big surge in vaccine shots is coming.

That’s great because there are no easy decisions when vaccine shots are in short supply. Some people want seniors to go fi rst, or educators and staff so schools can safely open up, and yet others want to just open it up to everyone. It can’t all happen when the math doesn’t work with the number of available shots.

Increasing that number will change the whole dynamic. Just imagine if the shots were like we see for the flu – easily available all over the place. Scarcity drives a lot of emotion and anxiety, and finally getting your shot improves your view on the future!

I’ve been focused this past year on trying to learn more about myself and my community - and how I can make life better for myself and those around me. Are we grateful for our blessings, especially when we see so many people hurting? How well do we

care for others, especially those more vulnerable than ourselves?

Are we tolerant and supportive of leaders trying to navigate a crisis made extreme because of one simple thing: a lack of enough vaccine? Can each of us use this tragedy to come back better individually and as a member of a family and community?

Having a sense of optimism doesn’t mean pretending bad things aren’t happening. Instead it means acknowledging that despair and then vowing to push through it day by day, remembering that the sun will indeed come up in the morning, and that how we view the world shapes what happens to us.

In tough times like this there are indeed many dangers, yet there are also opportunities. Let’s help ourselves, and our families and friends get through this by being supportive and loving. And let’s vow to reflect on how we’ve each handled things so far, and then promise ourselves that we’ll do better in the future.

I know we can do this, that we can rise up to be our best selves in a difficult situation. Spring is just around the corner, and the vaccine supply is growing. It will be a great Minnesota summer and fall!

LINO LAKES SNIPPETS • The city now has 0.7007 acres (30,523 square feet) less wetland credit available.

TEG Land Holdings offered to purchase the 0.7007 acres of wetland credits from Bank No. 1601 (Wollan), located west of Lake Drive and north of Main Street, for $2.50 per square foot, or a total of $76,306. The City Council approved the purchase Feb. 22.

• The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) requires replacement of any construction-related wetland impacts on a persquare-foot basis. Minnesota's wetland banking program includes both private and state-sponsored wetland banks. Bank credits can be purchased to offset (mitigate) authorized wetland impacts.

The city currently has one bank remaining with available credits.

• The YMCA has now transferred its property and building to the city as of March 1. As part of the transfer, the city will assume existing warranties, including for the roof and pool heater, and purchase some of the exercise equipment for $15,000. The

OBITUARY building will remain closed to the public pending the City Council’s determination of future facility purpose/use.

The City Council was set to hear a preliminary report on operating options at its March 1 work session (after press deadline).

• Baker Tilly will perform a utility rate study for the city

by May 19. Finance Director Hannah Lynch explained that the purpose of the study is to ensure adequate funding to cover the cost of operations, current and future bonding, and to maintain adequate cash reserves to continually update and maintain the capital infrastructure. The last study was performed in 2012 and rates were last increased in 2015.

• The city received eight proposals to complete the study. Baker Tilly submitted the secondlowest proposal in the amount of $17,730, but Lynch said city staff decided Baker Tilly was the best firm for the job because of the firm’s longstanding history with the city. Baker Tilly performed the city’s last two utility rate studies in 2008 and 2012.

Early language and literacy

In the Legislator Lingo column from Feb. 23, Sen. Chamberlain suggested implementing a structured literacy program in schools to help achieve his goal of 90% proficiency in reading skills by fourth grade.

I would also like to add one important suggestion. Reading instruction does not begin in kindergarten. Early language and literacy (reading and writing) development begins in the fi rst three years of life and is closely linked to a child's earliest experiences with books and stories. The interactions that young children have with such literacy materials as books, paper and crayons are the building blocks for language, reading and writing development.

Formal instruction to require young children who are not developmentally ready to read is counterproductive and potentially damaging to children, who may begin to associate reading and books with failure. Early literacy recognizes that language, reading and writing evolve from a number of earlier skills. Exploring and playing with books, singing nursery rhymes, listening to stories, recognizing words and scribbling are truly the building blocks for language and literacy development. We can develop literacy skills even before we consider teaching young children the alphabet.

Parents and caregivers can do the following to increase literacy skills: 1. Expand children's vocabulary: help kids learn how to describe the world around them.

2. Foster a love of books: reduce screen time.

3. Show them plenty of print materials and allow book exploration for even the youngest children.

4. Play with sounds: use rhyming, wordplay and singing songs to enhance sound recognition.

So, if you really want to help our students increase reading proficiency, make sure they have a variety of experiences exposing them to books and reading early in their lives. Don't wait until they begin attending school.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Joseph "Joe" Paul Meiser, age 69 of Circle Pines, who passed away peacefully at home on February 19, 2021, 3 days after his birthday, surrounded by his wife and daughters. Joe was a bright light on this Earth. He was a funny, kind, patient, and proud Dad to five daughters with a passion for the outdoors. Most days he could be found fishing, hunting, or camping, and always in the company of family and friends. He loved a good adventure, but even more so if he could share it with others and teach something new. He also loved coaching softball teams for his daughters and granddaughters for over 25 years. Joe was the best Husband, Dad, Grandpa, and Friend you could ask for, and will be tremendously missed. He is survived by wife Cindy Meiser, daughters Heather (John) Christenson, Rachael (Ryan) McNamara, Gretchen (Kirby) Templin, Becka (Tom) Giesen, and Alicia Meiser, as well as grandchildren Leah, Becca, Maybelle, Leon, Kuiper, and Kale. He was preceded in death by parents Donald and Dorothy Meiser and brother Bob. A celebration of life will be held this spring. In lieu of flowers, Joe asked that donations be made to the Wild Salmon Center.

the pandemic that have typically been hosted by the office, as well as the county and cities. This made it difficult to continue connecting with the members of our community during a time where people needed to come together.

What do you want the public to know about your staff and agency?

All members of the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office continuously strive to serve our community with pride every day.

How many staff are in your department today? How does this compare to 2020?

We have 16 full time officers and one part time officer. Our staffing has not changed in over 15 years.

How have the number of calls your agency responded to changed during the past year?

Due to the growth of population within our communities, as well as the surrounding cities, the number of calls continue to increase every year.

How has the political, pandemic or racial climate affected your agency?

We have always been a department that has excellent relationships with our citizens and business community. Through social media transparency we like to keep our constituents informed. During the unrest last spring and summer, we worked closely with students and staff from Centennial High School as they participated in a peaceful protest march. Through productive communication and by establishing a plan, we were able to allow their freedoms to express themselves while avoiding any major issues. With regard to the pandemic, we took great measures to ensure the workplace was being properly cleaned and also made sure officers had the proper personal protective equipment. We have been fortunate that only a few CLPD staff members have been affected with COVID-19, and all have recovered well.

What do you want the public to know about your staff and agency?

Our goal is to leave each call better than we found it. Our reputation speaks for itself. Through surveys and everyday interaction, the relationships we have with our citizens are tremendous.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Don’t stand on the sidelines and hope something will change, come join our team and become a more active member of your community. Contact Officer Katy Mannin at kmannin@clpdmn.com to learn more about the CLPD Reserve Program.

Yes, we have had changes to our policies and practices since the tragic incident involving Mr. Floyd and we will continue to Lino Lakes modify those as needed. For many years we have taken pride in our Public training programs, department values, service driven officers, and Safety evolving policies and practices.

Department Our department philosophies support us in always growing, and llearning, i d evolving to best practices, and, quite frankly, our citizens expect it. Our training units pay attention to evolving best practices and nation wide events and adopt our training programs to learn from those events and comply with best practices.

Since 2015, we have partnered with Lexipol to help monitor and modify our department policy manual to ensure we are in line with all best practices and compliant with all rules and laws. Our officers are

given monthly training on select policies to keep them fresh in their minds and relevant to current events.

How has the number of calls your agency responded to changed during the past year?

According to the Anoka County Dispatch records, our calls for service (CFS) increased by 1,002 CFS in 2020 in comparison to 2019. It should be noted that over the years this number has consistently increased and the increase from 2019 to 2020 is not unusual for our department. For some perspective on this, here is year to year increase dating back to 2016: • 2019 to 2020 increase of 1,002 • 2018 to 2019 increase of 1,131 • 2017 to 2018 increase of 75 • 2016 to 2017 increase of 1,152

How has the political, pandemic or racial climate affected your agency?

The events that have impacted our communities so deeply of course have impacted us as a public safety agency. We have been reminded, yet again, that there is injustice in our world and we all need to do better. We have been reminded, yet again, of the trust our community members put in us, and when we do not live up to those expectation — it hurts deeply. We have been reminded, yet again, that in Lino Lakes, the relationships that have been built between our community members and their police officers is strong, meaningful, and genuine.

During times when our world is hurting, in Lino Lakes, we have felt the support of our citizens.

We have been reminded, yet again, that during unprecedented times, during unknown dangers and at times unable to fully protect themselves from harm — your police officers will proudly show up for duty to serve our great citizens.

What do you want the public to know about your staff and agency?

We remain committed to providing a high level of service to our community, preserving public safety, and continuing to operate in a manner that invokes public trust in our agency.

How has the number of calls your agency responded to changed during the past year?

The calls for service have remained consistent over the past few years, with the department responding to approximately 29,000 calls per year. There has been an increase in auto thefts and theft from autos over the past year in White Bear Lake and throughout the metro area. Auto theft rates typically involve vehicles

that are left unattended and running. The department has also experienced an increase in mental health and persons in crisis calls, some of which we attribute to the stress of the pandemic.

How has the political, pandemic or racial climate affected your agency?

We experienced an increase in mental health, substance abuse and disturbance calls in 2020. While the cause cannot be certain, the rise in these types of calls definitely correlates with the events of 2020.

Specific to the civil unrest following George Floyd’s death, our department is acutely aware of the need to remain vigilant in our training. Continued focus on racial equity and community policing is critical to our mission. We are grateful for the positive relationship we have been able to maintain in this community, but never take it for granted. We continue to seek new and fresh approaches to training and engagement. We also actively seek opportunities to mentor students of color attending the Law Enforcement program at Century College and invite them to consider a career in the White Bear Lake Police Department. It is critically important that our officers reflect the changing demographics of our community.

What do you want the public to know about your staff and agency?

The department participates in an innovative program to provide officers access to a mental health case worker as they confront the mental health challenges faced by community members. Through a shared position at Northeast Youth and Family Services, a case worker is assigned to work with the White Bear Lake, Roseville, Mounds View, Saint Anthony and New Brighton police departments. Each agency contributes toward the salary for this position.

This unique approach affords the department a strong link to critical mental health resources when dealing with residents facing these challenges.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

The White Bear Lake Police Department serves the cities of White Bear Lake and Gem Lake. Its members are dedicated to serving the community and its changing needs. Although our top priority is to ensure the health and safety of our community and residents, we are dedicated to engaging the community in productive dialogue, forming strong partnerships, and identifying meaningful solutions so that we may move productive public safety strategies forward.

Waiting Child

• The city will have a new shed to store salt by the end of May. The City Council has approved a not-to-exceed quote of $144,500 from Greystone Construction Company, based out of Shakopee. The 46-by-48-foot shed was approved by the council Feb. 18.

• An individual claimant can recover no more than $500,000 on a claim now that the council has approved a waiver form for liability coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). On an annual basis, members who obtain liability coverage through LMCIT must complete the form, electing to waive or not waive the monetary limits on municipal tort liability established by Minnesota Statute 466.04. The city chose to not waive the monetary limits. The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence is limited to $1.5 million.

• The Centennial Little League has been granted permission to reserve the ballfields at Lexington Memorial Park from April to September. The league can use all five fields Monday through Friday from 4 to 10 p.m. with some weekends.

The fastpitch softball state tournaments will be held in June and July. Per the use agreement, the league is responsible for cleanup of the fields throughout the season.

• The city has lost its authority to act as the local Board of Appeal and Equalization, which means owners of property in the city who wish to appeal their assessments will now need to go before the Anoka County Board. City Administrator Bill Petracek said in order to keep that authority, council members have to complete a training, but nobody did. In two years, if the required training is completed, the council can again act as the Board of Appeal and Equalization.

The City Council next meets at 7 p.m.

Thursday, March 4, at City Hall.

Cougars overtake Crimson in overtime duel of powers

MARCH 2, 2021

Centennial dancers headed for state in jazz, kick

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Centennial Cougars bounced back from a humbling first half to beat Maple Grove 63-60 in a duel of metro powers Tuesday, Feb. 23.

The Cougars sank their last 14 free shots, eight of them in overtime, and heated up on three-point shooting in the second half.

“Very proud of the girls. They battled, and even after Kennedy Klick hits the near half-court bank shot to send it to overtime, we didn’t sulk,” said Jamie Sobolik, Centennial coach. “We stayed focused on what we were trying to do offensively and defensively.”

Jodi Anderson sank 19 points, Marisa Frost 11, Camille Cummings and Jenna Guyer 10 each and Megan Stacy eight for the Cougars (12-1).

Kylie Baranick led Maple Grove (112) with 14 points. Ari Gordon added 11, Jordan Ode 10 and Kennedy Klick nine, including a banked-in three-pointer at the buzzer.

Centennial, coming off a 45-32 loss to Elk River in a duel of unbeatens, was shut down again by a swarming Crimson defense in the first half.

However, the Cougars, 1-for-10 on three’s in the first half, made 6-for-9 in the second half. They were down 43-35 before Anderson sank two of three treys, followed

by Stacy nailing two straight, the second of those giving the Cougars a 47-46 lead.

BRUCE STRAND| SUBMITTED

Marisa Frost lines up a free shot in overtime.

Frost made four of them as the Cougars were 8-for-8 in the extra session. Coach Jamie Sobolik watches.

“Megan Stacy’s two three’s off the bench with less than five minutes to play was an incredible lift for our team,” Sobolik said.

The Cougars held their lead until Klick’s game-tying shot that was launched at full gallop, tying it 53-53, after Guyer sank two free throws with 4.8 seconds left.

But they led throughout the overtime as Frost sank four freebies and Cummings and Anderson two each, Anderson and Guyer each took a charge for crucial turnovers, and Sydney Kubes made a steal and fed Cummings for a layup.

The Cougars are currently ranked 10th and Maple Grove 11th in Class 4A. On Thursday, the Cougars routed Anoka 64-25 as Grace Puhlman scored 15 points, Kubes and Anderson nine each and Cummings eight.

Swimming: Tornadoes, Elks top Cougars

The Centennial Dance Team (CDT) qualified for the state Class 3A meet in both categories after placing second in jazz and third in high kick at Section 3AAA. Their section performance Saturday at Bloomington Kennedy, in competition with 14 schools, sends the CDT to the state meet, slated for March 12-13 at Edina High School — which will cap a very challenging season.

“We started the season with a week of tryouts, followed by a six-week pause in sports,” coach Sarah Austin noted, referring to the COVID-19 shutdown. “It was very challenging, but the team continued to train and practice via Google Meets for six weeks.

“On Jan. 4, the team was able to have our fi rst in-person practice for the season. With one week to prepare, competitions started the 16th of January.”

In the Northwest Suburban Conference, Centennial placed fifth in jazz and sixth in high kick among 14 schools.

Senior captains are Adyson Bellis, Alayna Ferguson and Eve Caturia. Junior captains are Claire Skogen and Taylor O'shea.

Spring Lake Park was section champion in both jazz and high kick.

The Centennial team is dancing to an Aerosmith song, "Amazing,” in jazz, and to a Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson mix for kick.

Hockey: Goodreau, Cougars rout Tornadoes

Centennial junior forward AJ Carls delivered three goals in the third period against Champlin Park, sparking the Cougars to a 5-2 win, last week.

He broke a 2-2 tie with two power play goals 18 seconds apart. Carls has 13 goals and 25 assists for the Cougars (8-3-1). He scored 21 goals last year and 18 as a freshman at Coon Rapids for total of 51. “AJ has unbelievable speed and offensive skill,” coach Ritch Menne said. “Every time AJ touches the puck, everyone in the rink watches to see what dynamic thing he could do.”

Assistant coaches are Caitlin Schuler and alumni Kati Stratioti, Sally Vijums, Cecilia Sanvick and Sophia Taylor.

“The team would like to thank all of their fans who were able to cheer them on in person or from the live stream this year,” Austin said.

“Also a big thank you to the community for their support in donations and purchasing the team’s discount card.

With the impact of COVID-19, the team was unable to fundraise.”

Tryouts will be held this spring for next year’s team. When dates and times are determined they’ll be posted on the school website. There were no tryouts last spring because of the shutdown so the team didn’t add many new members.

Centennial Schools to transition to Crossword full-time, in-person learning In response to the governor’s recommendation to bring Minnesota students back to the classroom, Centennial administrators presented the district’s plan to the school board last week.

Centennial students will shift from hybrid learning to full-time, in-person learning on Monday, March 22. All students will be in school, five days per week, Monday through Friday.

Per the governor’s order, families will have the option to continue distance learning. Hybrid learning will no longer be offered as an option when students move to in-person learning.

Here is the timeline: • March 17: Last day of hybrid learning • March 18 and March 19: No school for students in grades 6-12. These two days

CLUES ACROSS CIRCLE PINES SNIPPETS

are transition prep days for staff per the governor’s order.

• March 22: Students in grades 6-12 return to full-time, in-person learning, five days a week.

To accommodate additional planning time for teachers who will teach both distance and in-person learning, April 1, April 30 and May 28 will be designated as non-school days for students in grades 6-12.

Students who wish to move from hybrid learning to distance learning, or distance learning to in-person learning, must register online via the district website isd12.org. For students who are currently distance learning and wish to remain distance learning, no registration is needed. Registration must be complete by 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 10.
