Isabelle Nygaard, Sartell, was one of 14 runners-up of the United Way LIVE UNITED essay contest. Nygaard will receive the runner-up award of a $75 Visa gift card for her essay on how she lives united: “Being part of a community means helping out one another, being kind, and having a friendly relationship with the people in your community. I have helped in my community by serving foods for Place of Hope, packaging food for Kid’s Against Hunger, collecting donations and making blankets for Anna Marie’s Alliance. I volunteered at Boys and Girls Clubs in St. Cloud and helped sort food for Kidstops in Central Minnesota. I am also an active Junior Girl Scout, where we do many community service projects, and we currently are working on our Bronze Award.” Nygaard is a student at Sartell Middle School.
