Carol Mead, an elementary teacher, at Mississippi Heights, was recently named Teacher of the Year by the Sauk Rapids-Rice Education Association, who annually recognizes one teacher for this honor. In a recent release, the organization said, “We are proud to celebrate Carol and appreciate her work and commitment to our students, schools and community.”
The children at Little House Preschool, 120 Seventh Ave. N, Sauk Rapids, were so excited to have the Sauk Rapids Middle School eighth-grade students come to assist them in raking leaves Oct. 20. Thirty students joined the preschool children in taking care of their environment. Both sets of students raked leaves and piled them in the garden to jump into. The preschool teacher, Veronica Oliva-Clour, said, “I am grateful for this community-supported event, where these little children were eager to work alongside a buddy. Life is so much better when we can work together and do something good for each other. Thank you to all the eighth-grade students at Sauk Rapids Middle School.”
