Sponsor a Student Scholarship Program Community Education plays a vital role in creating a healthy and vibrant community.

Individual and family lives are enhanced through programs and activities that not only educate, but entertain, motivate and rejuvenate.

This past year has been challenging for so many families due to the pandemic. Many families are struggling financially and emotionally. Because of this they are unable to enroll their children into educational and recreational programs that provide so many benefits to their children. Community Education classes allow students to learn social and emotional skills, provides hands-on learning that encourages skill building, physical skill development, fitness and so much more.

You can help a family by donating to the Sponsor a Student Scholarship program. Your donation will be used for the sole purpose of financially assisting a student to enroll in a community education class or activity. This opens up the opportunity for individuals in our community to participate in a wide range of lifelong learning activities.

Please call Community Education at 320.274.3058 if you would like to make a donation other than the above listed. Thank You!

This campaign is organized by dedicated members of the Annandale Community, not the school district. While ISD 876 is the beneficiary of the donations, the school district is not officially running this fundraising effort.

Cardinals Rising: A Donation Campaign for Annandale’s Future Goal: Together, reach $250,000 by February 1st, 2025 and $ 500,000 by May 1st, 2025!

Annandale has always been a place where heart and community come together to create something special. Now, more than ever, our public schools need your support to ensure every child in the Heart of the Lakes continues to have access to the quality education they deserve.

Strong Schools Create a Strong Community Public schools primarily rely on two revenue sources: state/federal funding and local property taxes. An operating levy allows voters to increase taxes to fund daily operational expenses such as curriculum, salaries, mental health resources, transportation, utilities, classroom supplies, athletics, clubs and more.

The recent November 2024 operating levy for Annandale Independent School District #876 did not pass. As a result, our school district is facing budget cuts that will directly impact students, teachers and programs.

We invite you to visit the Cardinals Rising Facebook Page for more information on how you can make a positive impact on our community!

“The Root Beer Lady” History Theater, Downtown St. Paul

“Ring Of Kerry” Sheldon Theatre, Red Wing

We will begin our day at the Minnesota History Theater in downtown St. Paul. Theater staff will escort the group into their theater seats.

We will be taking a trip to Red Wing, MN. Our first stop will be the St. James Hotel for lunch.

Performance: “The Root Beer Lady” Written and Performed by Kim Schultz, Directed by Laurie Flanigan Hegge. It is the story of the indomitable Dorothy Molter, the last legal non-indigenous resident of the Boundary Waters, presented by playwright and performer Kim Schultz. Her solo performance reflects on the beauty and hardships of Molter’s solitary yet satisfying life and pushes back against the premise that her time in the North Woods made her the “Loneliest Woman in America,” as the Saturday Evening Post claimed in 1952.

Funny. Smart. Passionate. Dorothy Molter’s story will delight all, young and old.

After lunch we will go to the Sheldon Theatre, founded in 1904. This “glittering jewel box,” as it was called after its 1986 refurbishing, was the first city-owned theater in America. Today, the Sheldon offers yearround events ranging from theatre, music, dance, films, comedy, lectures and more.

After the show we will be having lunch at Kéy’s Café (included).

We will enjoy a Matinee Performance “Ring of Kerry” All five of its engaging musicians sing and play several instruments. With sounds that range from the thunder of the Irish bodhran drum to the sparkle of the hammered dulcimer; from the lilt and rhythm of fiddle and guitar to the haunting wails of flutes and pennywhistles, the band has developed a blend that is animated, ruggedly beautiful and fun. These musicians get close to their audience, joking, ribbing and laughing along but are respectful and friendly. Audiences always react with great enthusiasm! The members of the group have a wide breadth of performance experience. They are sometimes a raucous pub band enticing their crowd to sing along, stomp their feet and slosh a frothy beer while at other times they serenade the audience beautifully.

Departure Time: 10:45am Return Time: 6:45pm (Approx) Sunday, March 16th #1753 - A24F ................................................................................... $120 Registration Deadline ........................................................ February 10th
