Last Wednesday, Northeast Metro 916 held The Annual District Art Show. Artwork of various mediums were displayed from nail art, metal work, photos, paintings, ceramics, and more. There was even a cookie decorating table as a fun activity and sweet treat! Thank you to the staff who set up the art show and everyone who attended as well. Seeing the 916 community come together to celebrate the students' imagination and effort makes this event truly special.
Happy Staff Appreciation Week!

We had an incredible time at the fifth annual 916 Career and College Fair! Students from East View Academy, Metro Heights Academy, 916 Mahtomedi Academy, Quora Secondary School, and WELS attended the event.
Students were able to talk to industry and college leaders from around the metro. A few of the tables had interactive tools from their careers, like a court reporter or a VR program for painting. Students also had the opportunity to attend panels from career professionals. #916happyandproud
