Students in grades 9-12 are invited to participate in the 2015 Distracted Driving Video Challenge. This contest

is only open to students in McLeod County and cash prizes will be awarded to the top 3 videos. The objectives

of the contest are to create a video about distracted driving to promote awareness about its dangers, educate

teens and their peers regarding the risks of distracted driving in a friendly, competitive way and decrease the

number of teens driving distracted in McLeod County. Videos and signed entry forms must be submitted

electronically by Wednesday, May 15 at 4:00. Brochures about the contest are available in the office as well as

Congratulations to Logan Krone on being runner-up for all 7th graders in the state on an essay contest. The 7th

grade participated in an essay contest put on by the MN Twins called what my “Father Means to Me”, over

3,000 7th graders in the state participated in it. The 7th graders were supposed to write about a father figure in

their life and Logan choose to write about his Grandfather Leon. Logan and his Grandfather will be honored at

a Twins game in the summer and they will be in the running for Father of the Year Award. Congrats Logan!

Since 1992, McLeod Alliance for Victims of Domestic Violence has been providing assistance to those affected

by domestic violence. At McLeod Alliance, their mission is to support and promote the elimination of

relationship violence through education, empowerment, protection, and advocacy. Domestic violence, or

battering, is a pattern of abusive behaviors that some individuals use to control their intimate partners. Without

help, domestic violence often becomes more frequent and more severe, and can lead to permanent injury and

death. I will be collecting donations for the McLeod Alliance for Victims of Domestic Violence. Below is a list

of items that are most commonly needed at the shelter, but feel free to donate any personal care items. There

will be a donation box in the school office. Items will be collected until 3 P.M. on Friday, May 8. Please help

me with this worthy cause. Thank you, Taylor Kriz.

Diapers (especially sizes 1, 2 & 3), Cleaning Supplies, Paper Products (toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towels),

Feminine Products, Laundry Detergent, Dish Soap, Deodorant, Hair Conditioner
