On Friday, May 9th beginning at 9:00am till 2:00pm, over 300 Northfield 6th graders celebrated Minnesota's 150 years of statehood with a project called "All Things Minnesota". These enthusiastic 6th graders painted over 100 windows at their school, with themes such as the Mighty Mississippi, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, the Fires of 1918 and even our state flower and butterfly to name just a few.
It was an undertaking of enormous proportion, but also of enormous significance as we celebrate this important milestone in our state's history.
