Lanesboro School Board hears about senior class trip

Lanesboro High School seniors Michael Holst and Kirsten Ruen attended the school board meeting on May 13 and talked about the recent senior class trip to Washington, D.C.
The seniors were gone from April 3-11. “It was amazing,” began Ruen.
Holst spoke of the educational experiences, which were many. “On the bus we heard a lot of stories from history,” he said. “There was a lot about wars, battles, and many events.”
The students learned a lot about the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and were able to visit the Pentagon, as well as the farm in Pennsylvania where Flight 93 crashed.
“I can see why the school supports this trip,” said Ruen. “It’s very educational.”
Holst also spoke of how well they were able to get to know their fellow classmates, as well as the teachers, calling it a very “eye-opening” experience.
Ruen believes every class should have the opportunity to take this trip. “It’s surprising how much you learn about yourself, and others,” she said. She added that they learned a lot more than can be taught in a textbook.
The students shared some of their favorite parts of the trip, including Arlington National Cemetery, where Ruen and Holst were able to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They also spoke of the night walk on the battlefields in Gettysburg, Washington, D.C. and the monuments there, Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, and Monticello.
Superintendent Jeff Boggs said the students always love the trip, and always speak of it as a bonding experience with their classmates. “It’s very worthwhile for them.”

Kristi Ruen, ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) parent educator, gave a presentation about the ECFE program at Lanesboro Schools.
The mission of ECFE is to promote healthy development of children. Ruen said they emphasize that the primary and most important teacher is the parent. They encourage interaction and educational play between parents and their children, and provide education and support for parents.
“One of the benefits is the positive parental interactions,” shared Ruen. “When the parent and child work together, it works better.”
Ruen added that the families develop networks with other families, an .....
