On May 5th, the 6th graders and teachers at Willow Creek School in Owatonna witnessed a piece of history. The Minnesota Sesquicentennial Banner was transported from the Owatonna Public Library by Librarian Bonnie Krueger and Owatonna Police Captain Chuck Walerius to Willow Creek School. It was such a cool event! 380 6th graders and school staff watched as Bonnie and Captain Walerius handed over the banner to Willow Creek Principal Mary Trapp. After the presentation, the students spent the rest of the day planting 150 trees honoring Minnesota's Sesquicentennial. The students also released the Cecropia moths they had been raising into the school's nature center. It was so fun to see young people involved with Minnesota's history--what great events! You can see pictures of the Banner presentation on SELCO's Flickr account. You can also read more about the tree planting on Owatonna.com.
