(Editor’s note: This photo poll was taken at Sartell Middle School when students hosted veteran relatives for lunch on Veterans’ Day.)
Jim Spoden
Navy veteran
Sauk Rapids
“Well, I guess I am! After plowing snow all night long. I’m so tired today I almost didn’t make this event. I’m having lunch today with my grandson, Chase Spoden. He’s an eighth-grader here.”
Emma Schwartz
Sixth-grader
Sartell
“Yeah, I like it because it’s fun to play in the snow. What I don’t like about winter is the cold! But when it snowed yesterday, I really liked it because I could stay home and didn’t have any school.”
Kate Manning
Fifth-grader
Sartell
“Yes. I like all the snow. Yesterday was nice because we didn’t have to go to school. I like to play in the snow, building tunnels and making snowmen.”
Amy Trombley
School Communications Director
“No. I’m never ready for winter!”
Lori Dornburg
Academic Extensions
Coordinator
“I would’ve preferred the snow if it had held out for a few weeks yet. But I’m happy to say I used my time off from school yesterday productively. I made three batches of lefse, I made puppy chow and I spent quality time with my daughter, Sarah.”
