Rick and Chanda Larson, Sartell
We moved to Sartell in 1999 because of the excellent school system. We have been impressed with the richness of our children’s educational experiences since our oldest started kindergarten at Pine Meadow Elementary in 2005. Our children are now at Sartell High School, Sartell Middle School and Oak Ridge Elementary. Throughout our time in Sartell, we have seen continued growth in the student population and have witnessed the resourcefulness of district leadership to house and accommodate our students.
The Sartell-St. Stephen School District continues to grow; Sartell Middle School added more than 65 new students just this school year. People are choosing to move and will continue to move to our community because of the excellence of our school district.
Our district leaders have done an excellent job of being good stewards of the facilities and will continue to do just that by modifying the current spaces in conjunction with building a new high school to accommodate the growing population.
Excellent schools create excellent communities. It’s time to build so Sartell-St. Stephen can continue the educational excellence our district is known and emulated for.
Our hope is the communities of Sartell and St. Stephen continue to show their Sabre pride by voting yes on May 24.
