Park Center Senior High School students take part in Minnesota Economics Challenge
A group of hardworking high school seniors from Park Center Senior High School (PCSH) recently took part in the first round of the Minnesota State Economics Challenge, which is a multi-school knowledge bowl of economics hosted by the Minnesota Council on Economic Education (MCEE). Teams competed in online testing in March, with 16 PCSH students signing up for the opportunity. Top performers will be announced in April and a MCEE state competition will take place April 14 at the University of Minnesota.

Celebrating Music in our Schools Month
Each March, Osseo Area Schools recognizes Music In Our Schools Month, which is an opportunity for music teachers to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the community, and to display the benefits that school music brings to students of all ages. Rice Lake Elementary School fourth graders spent March learning and practicing their recorder skills, which they will put to the test after Spring Break with opportunities to earn colored “belts” to add to their recorders.
Students at Rice Lake also got into the spirit of Music in our Schools Month with a Music March Madness bracket. Staff members across the building chose 16 songs from a variety of genres for the bracket, including “We Got the Beat,” “Dancing Queen” and “Unwritten.” Students voted each week in their music class, picking which song they liked more and narrowing it down to a final match up between “You Got the Keys” and “When Can I See You Again?”

Please complete this survey while thinking about one student. Even if you have other students enrolled in our schools, please answer questions with only that student in mind. To access the survey you will need this student’s Student ID. If you do not have your student’s Student ID, it is available in ParentVue under the Student Info tab as “Perm ID.”
We expect the survey to take less than 10 minutes to complete. This survey will be open until Friday, April 17. Thank you for considering this request!
