MN State Representative Krista Knudsen visited Menahga Public Schools on Wednesday, January 28th, giving board members, staff and students a special opportunity to connect with her.
During her visit, Representative Knudsen stopped by the school store, where student Tim Erickson explained how it... is operated through Mrs. Andress and the Special Education program. She also visited Mr. Hahn’s DAPE program, where students Dean Torma and Oliver Manlove shared details about their annual events. Representative Knudsen joined Mr. Wurdock’s, Mrs. Kramer’s, and Mr. Petrowski’s classrooms for a Q&A session, toured Mr. Weston’s shop to learn more about Career and Technical Education, and stopped by the 5th Grade Coffee Club to see it in action.
Additional highlights included visits to Mrs. Lake’s Project Lead the Way/STEM program, Mrs. Hillukka’s 8th grade Metier Career Exploration, Career Pathways/Work-Based Learning with Mr. Thompson and Hope McAdow, and time spent with Menahga School Board members Sara Makela, Katie Howard, and Andrea Haverinen, along with High School Principal Michelle Koch and Superintendent Jay Kjos.
We are grateful for the opportunity to host Representative Knudsen and truly appreciate her taking the time to visit our school and engage with our school board members, students, and staff!🧡

What a wonderful semester for our Intro to Education students! This class is part of the Southwest Minnesota State University "College Now" program, where students are able to take the class here at Menahga with Mr. Thompson and earn 3 college credits. Although many of the students are... headed towards a career as an educator, it is a valuable class for those that might not end up in a classroom, but want to become knowledgeable about a profession that impacts children. As part of our career pathways strategic plan, the class has created a pipeline of educators with former students well on their way to education degrees.

Besides curriculum, field trips, guest speakers, detailed lesson plans, and case studies, students are also able to get real-world experience in the classroom one day a week. The high school students are paired with a mentor teacher where they are able to learn skills of the course first-hand. Students document their weekly visits where they are more than just a teacher-assistant. They are teaching, leading small groups, working 1 on 1, and making an impact on all of our Menahga Elementary students. The course culminates with our high school students collaborating together with their mentor teachers and teaching a full hour-long lesson on their own to our elementary students.

This course wouldn't be possible without our great mentor teachers, who volunteered to take these future educators under their wings for the semester!

Quotes from Students:

"It didn’t really feel like it was my last day in the classroom. It feels like I just started going down there, but now I won’t be going again. It feels strange not to look forward to Tuesdays anymore. It definitely was an amazing experience, and I’m so glad I decided to take this class."

"These elementary students sure have made their impact on me, as I have been told I have made my impact on them."
------------------------------
This class is offered every other fall. If you have a child that will be in 11th or 12th grade during the fall of 2027 or 2029 and are interested in more information, reach out to Mr. Thompson at rthompson@menahga.k12.mn.us

🎉CONGRATULATIONS to this year’s Menahga Public School, Minnesota State High School League Triple ‘A’ Award Winner, Macie Josephson!

Macie, daughter of Hans and Janelle Josephson, has demonstrated excellence in academics, athletics, and arts throughout her high school career. She ...has consistently achieved a perfect 4.0 GPA, earning straight A’s throughout her academic career.

In his staff letter of recommendation, Ed Heltunen shared:
“Macie exemplifies what it means to be an outstanding student. She has put in the time and effort to maintain a 4.0 GPA, all the while putting in the time and effort it takes to become an All-State athlete in cross country. She has been an amazing role model for her teammates and her siblings, showing them that hard work pays off."

Macie is a conference champion, section champion, and All-State runner in cross country, finishing 12th at the 2025 State Cross Country Meet, an incredible achievement! She participated and lettered in band during her freshman and sophomore years, and also currently volunteers as a unified partner for the Menahga Special Olympics team.

After graduation, Macie will attend the University of Minnesota Duluth, where she plans to major in Accounting and compete in cross country & track for the UMD Bulldogs.

The Academics, Arts, and Athletics (Triple ‘A’) Award honors high school seniors across Minnesota who maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA and participate in MSHSL-sponsored athletic and fine arts activities.

Macie will represent Menahga in Sub-Section 24, which includes:
Bertha-Hewitt, Menahga, New York Mills, Pequot Lakes, Pillager, PRB, Sebeka, Staples/Motley, Verndale, and WDC.

CONGRATULATIONS, MACIE! We are so proud of you!👏👏👏

The college-credit Intro to Education class recently had two incredible guest speakers! Mr. Marsden talked about global learners, overseas education, and his time living and teaching in China. Then Mrs. Farnam was able to come out of retirement for an hour and led a wonderful session on advice, ...stories from teaching at Menahga, and words of wisdom for these future educators.

Our career pathway students are super thankful!

Feed the Yeti Food Drive🧡

The Menahga Public School (PreK-12th grade) recently wrapped up a highly successful food drive, collecting a combined 1,100 pounds of food and $569 for the Menahga Food Shelf. Donations included both nonperishable food items and monetary contributions, all of ...which will help support local families in need.
At the elementary level, Jasmer’s class earned first place with a total of 305 items and donations, followed by Kapphahn in second place with 231, and Haapala in third with 154.
In the secondary division, Kinyoun’s class led the way with an impressive 435 total, securing first place. Wetteland placed second with 73, while Crook earned third with 26.
As a reward for their efforts, first place classes in both divisions will receive a pizza party. Second and third place classes will also receive prizes, with details to be announced.
Thank you to all of our students, families, and community members for their generosity during the holiday season.

(Pictured below are members of the Elementary and High School Student Council.)
