“We’ve been changing schedules over and over again, and when school starts we’ll probably have to change them again.” That is what Joan Wollenberg said about the work she and her co-worker Jackie Stender have been doing in the last frantic days before school starts. Stender added, “We are busy making lots of copies for teachers and working on changes with students.” The office staff is confident they will have everything under control in good time for opening day. The 1999-2000 school year starts Wednesday, September 1.

Breaking a pinata was one of the fun activities for the kids at a potluck picnic held Saturday afternoon at Lake Charlotte Park in Long Prairie. Kids took turns trying to break the candy filled pinata and gather up some treats. The picnic was one of the first activities hosted by the new Todd County Hispanic Liaison, Gloria Edin. Edin hopes that gatherings like this will help bring the Hispanic community and others together, using good fun and good food to make better neighbors.
