Around Community Education

Vehicle Fair Creates a Joyful Experience for Mahtomedi’s Youngest Learners
We had a great night at the annual Early Childhood Vehicle Fair! Thank you to our families who showed up with smiles, curiosity, and so much enthusiasm!

Our little Zephyrs spent the evening enjoying treats from the Sizzling Wagon and Mik Mark Ice Cream Truck and exploring vehicles, including a School Bus, Apple Orchard Tractor, State Patrol Car, and Polaris RZR and XPEDITION. There’s nothing better than bringing our community together to share in the joy and excitement of this annual tradition. Click here to see a sweet video from the event.

Mahtomedi Adventure Club Kicks off Summer
Last week, we welcomed 290 students to Summer Mahtomedi Adventure Club (MAC)! MAC is a school-age care program serving students in kindergarten through grade 5 during the school year and students who have completed kindergarten through grade 6 in the summer.

MAC strives to create positive friendships and memorable experiences through an exciting schedule of field trips, gym/outside time, and art and STEM activities. The program is supported by a passionate team of students, alumni, and childcare specialists who are experts in creating safe and enriching environments for our participants. Click here to see photos and learn more about the first day of MAC.

Middle School Girls Flag Football
Earlier this spring, when community member Carrie Buck heard that Mahtomedi Community Education was looking for a coach to get our middle school Girls Flag Football program off the ground, she jumped at the chance to impart her lifelong passion for the sport with the next generation. What impressed her most about our students? “Their interest and even intensity in learning and playing.” Click here to learn more about the inaugural season of middle school Girls Flag Football!

Mahtomedi Community Education is proud to have community members share their leadership to help us make these opportunities a reality! Are you passionate about football and interested in helping us expand opportunities for girls? Reach out to stephanie.groff@isd832.net.
