Patriot's Pen
Do you enjoy writing? Do you like having others read your writings? Would you like to get paid to write? The Brooker-Edmond VFW Post 724 is sponsoring a Patriot’s Pen essay writing contest for students in grades 6-8. The essay’s theme this year is “What a Veteran Taught Me About America”. Your Social Studies teacher will have entry forms available for you and a screencast, which details the specific requirements for these essays. Cash prizes are awarded locally; you could also qualify for district, state, and national prizes if your essay is selected. 6th grade MN Studies Teacher, Ms. Hallenberger (Room 109), can answer questions you may have. The entries will be collected in the front office for pickup by 10/29 at 2:30 pm so we can get them to the VFW Post representatives by the due date on the form. Students can also enter their essay until 10/31 at 11:59pm by using the bit.ly code for ScholarsApp (students will need to use a different email address than their school email.) Use this Bit.ly code: https://bit.ly/40Wlljo

Ballot question impacts all public schools
This fall, a proposed amendment to the Minnesota Constitution would increase annual funding to public school districts without raising individual income or property taxes. It will appear on the November 3, 2026, general election ballot.
If approved by voters, Mounds View Public Schools would receive an additional $371,000 annually.
Leaving the constitutional amendment question blank has the same effect as voting no. Approval requires a majority of all voters participating in the election, not merely a majority of those who answer the amendment question.
