Update On Duluth Schools

Monday March 22, 2010 Posted 2 years, 1 month ago by Dave Strandberg

The Duluth School District's Bill Hanson and Kerry Leider provided an update on the spring and summer construction schedule at schools throughout the district and also talked about the approval of all-day kindergarten starting with the next school year.  Several award winning students were in the studio to detail the statewide competitions that they were recently a part of.  Devin Johnson and Alyssa Everson placed 3rd and 7th in the state's multi regional spelling bee last week.  Jacob Baldwin will represent Duluth in the state's Geographic Bee in St. Cloud next month.  Catherine Brown and Dan Ott, from the East Acappella Choir talked about their group winning perfect scores at the March 10th State-Region Vocal Large Group contest.  Other students also excelled in the Culinary Arts program and in the PBS Art and Photography Contest.  Good to see well deserved accolades being given to students who participate in state and regional competitions for endeavors other than sports.
