Hundreds of area children are set for school next week with brand new supplies in hand thanks to the generosity of an area organization.
Ready, Set, Learn of Dodge County has outfitted 301 children in 137 families with school supplies, according to Tanya Young, coordinator of the organization. The supplies, along with back packs, were distributed Aug. 13 and 14 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Kasson.

The world is always changing and with that comes inventions that help make our everyday lives easier. Of course, to have those new innovations and technologies, someone has to have the foresight to come up with it. That type of creativity must come at an early age where simple ideas can turn out to be the next big thing.

A new program at Kasson-Mantorville Schools is reaping big benefits for children around Dodge County.

As is tradition every June, Kasson-Mantorville High School honored its latest graduating class on last Sunday afternoon. In front of a jam-packed Home Federal Arena, the KoMets graduates remembered their rise through the ranks and were given advice as they enter the world with their diplomas in hand. 

The halls of Kasson-Mantorville Elementary School were abuzz Thursday morning as staff and students celebrated K-M’s 2018-2019 Teacher of the Year, Rita Buehler. 

For Shannon Krekula of Byron, Friday’s Activity Day for students of the Zumbro Education District was a heartwarming time for her 12-year-old son, Jeffrey.
He took part in a variety of activities, including races, soccer, bowling, T-ball and even some tattoos.
