Let us introduce Jim Nippoldt and family — Jim a longtime District 622 resident, Gladstone Painting Pals member, and proud great-grandfather. Jim grew up in our district, raised his family here, and now his great-grandson is attending ECFE classes in the very same building on the same day Jim comes in to paint.

Their story is a beautiful reminder of how Community Education connects people of all ages — from our youngest learners to our lifelong creators. https://youtu.be/iuA8kuWXMws

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.
