Gratitude Month: Thankfulness Week
This month, we are taking time for gratitude and reflecting on our core values. We believe community benefits when each person contributes and relationships flourish on a foundation of mutual trust and respect. We chose gratitude because of the mental health benefits associated with this mindset. Check out the full Gratitude Calendar online to find ways to express gratitude every day this month. Share your gratitude with the community using #EPGratitude and #EagleWay. More importantly, share your gratitude with others!

Unofficial School Board Election Results
Unofficial results of the Eden Prairie School Board election show that voters have elected Beth Fletcher, Kim Ross, and C.J. Strehl. A tally of the six-candidate race is available on the Secretary of State’s website.

Current board members Elaine Larabee, Holly Link and Terri Swartout did not seek reelection.

Weekly Tech Tip:
Some of the tools we use, like Schoology, are constantly updating. A great way to make sure you are on the most updated version of these tools is by closing all your tabs and turning off your MacBooks or iPads at the end of your learning. Applications, like Google Meet, also update frequently-- to make sure you are in the most up-to-date version of an application, try clicking “Reinstall” in Self Service.
