It’s School Social Worker Week!
At MCC, we are fortunate to have two incredible social workers — Laura Underdahl and Jeri Nomeland.
They provide vital support to our students, staff, and families every day. From social-emotional learning and mental health to managing behavior, building friendships, suicide prevention, and helping students make positive choices — they make a difference in so many ways.
Thank you, Laura and Jeri, for all you do for the MCC Community!
This week we celebrate Public Schools Week.
Public schools in Minnesota form the foundation of our communities and society. As a school leader, I value public participation in our schools and the essential role it plays in student success.
This week, all three of our buildings hosted parent-teacher conferences. It was great to see parents and teachers working together, discussing student progress, and partnering to support our students. Thank you to our parents and teachers for your commitment and care.
Across all three buildings, we appreciate the support of our community. Your investment in our schools and your interest in our programs and operations make a difference. This year, we continue to fully utilize our new spaces, which expand opportunities for student learning and extracurricular activities that shape the next generation. Thank you, MCC community, for standing with us and supporting our schools.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of staff members who commit their time and talents to serving our students and community. They guide our students in developing strong citizenship, mastering essential skills, and preparing for their future goals. Thank you to our support staff for the care and guidance you provide every day.
I also want to recognize our school board members for their leadership and dedication. They serve as the voice of the public, oversee policies, maintain our strategic goals, listen to community feedback, and make important decisions that shape the future of our district. Thank you, Mindy, Patti, Melissa, Andy, Craig, Kayla, and Ashley, for your service and leadership.
