In this second installment of the 2 Sugars Show, our writers take us to places where wine is served and stories are told: weddings, books clubs, the occasional happy hour and of course, the obligatory family gathering. No matter how bad things get, there is always coffee. Sometimes There's even Wine. And when there is both, well that's a good day.

Although most seminars are presented by professional financial planners, the design is nonbiased and non-sales oriented. You will not be pressured to make a purchase or meet with sales people. We prohibit the direct distribution of flyers, pamphlets or marketing materials that promote specific products, services or companies. We do, however, offer you the opportunity to receive an instructorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business card or you can ask for more information should you have additional, specific questions that go beyond the content or time frame of the seminar. We hope your participation in these programs will be enjoyable. For questions, call Jenny at 952-226-0085.

Thank you for exploring our catalog to learn about the programs and services PLSAS offers to hundreds of lifelong learners in our district. As you take classes this school year, you will notice many positive changes to our buildings. This is thanks to voter approval of PLSAS’ two school funding requests in 2017. Teri Staloch, Ed. D. Superintendent

Here are just a few of the construction highlights you will see this fall: • Bridges Area Learning Center will open on the Twin Oaks campus • Redtail Ridge and Jeffers Pond are opening new kindergarten classrooms • WestWood and Edgewood are now connected by a shared kitchen and cafeteria • Both middle schools will have additional classroom and cafeteria space as well as a renovated auditorium at Twin Oaks

Still to come, classroom additions are being constructed at Prior Lake High School along with increased parking and a new space for Industrial Technology classes. PLHS will continue construction with additional classrooms, a new north entrance, kitchen and cafeteria expansion and a four-court activity center. This summer we broke ground on Hamilton Ridge Elementary. We are looking forward to a grand opening in the fall of 2020. We are grateful to our community for making this investment to help ensure all learners have the spaces, staff and materials they need to succeed. Visit www.priorlakesavagece.com - 952-226-0080
