On National Community Education Day, we were proud to bring our community together for a special Marnita’s Table gathering. Over a shared meal and guided conversation, families, neighbors, staff, and students connected with one purpose: to uplift every voice and learn more about what our community needs from Community Education.

By partnering with Marnita’s Table, we created a welcoming, inclusive space to listen deeply and gather meaningful insight that will help shape future programs and services across District 622.

The Knights of Columbus – Council 4967 from the Church of St. Peter raise funds each year to purchase new coats for members of the community. This year, ISD 622 received 72 brand-new coats—more than double the amount donated in previous years. In addition, the council provided coats to 10 other local organizations. Their fundraising efforts, which include events such as booyas, bingo nights, and fish fries, make these generous donations possible.

We would like to highlight/give a shoutout to alumni of District 622 in upcoming editions of our e-News. Please complete the alumni news form if you have interesting news to share regarding alumni of District 622.

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.
