There was plenty of creativity from Kasson-Mantorville fourth graders last week as 40 students competed in a Block Kids event hosted by the Southeast Minnesota Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction.
During the evening, students have a limited amount of time to build a structure out of Legos, poster board, tin foil, and string.

Three teams of Triton students, two from the middle school and one from the high school, are busy building apps that will be entered in the upcoming Minnesota Technovation challenge.
Technovation is an international competition that is designed to get more girls interested in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), said Triton Middle School math teacher Patrick Floryance, the advisor for the students.

The interview process for a new superintendent of schools did not go exactly as Triton School Board members had expected, but at the end of the process the board unanimously agreed to offer the position to Triton High School Principal Craig Schlichting.

At their meeting Jan. 22, Byron school board members voted unanimously to close open enrollment for kindergartners for the next school year. In a later email, Superintendent Dr. Joey Page explained that the district has had to close open enrollment for at least one grade in recent years.
During the meeting, council members discussed the fact that their goal is to keep classrooms full but not too full.
