Dear Keewatin Elementary Families,
We are excited to announce that starting on Monday, October 21st, Keewatin Elementary will be holding a "Pennies for Veterans" coin drive! All proceeds will be donated to the Patriotic Kenny Foundation, a Minnesota-based non-profit organization that empowers veterans with mobility challenges by gifting them mobility scooters.
At our Veterans Day Program at the elementary on Monday, November 11th, we will proudly award a local Veteran with a mobility scooter in coordination with the Patriotic Kenny Foundation to help increase one Veteran’s independence and ability to regain access to life-changing support and resources.
If you know a Veteran within the Nashwauk-Keewatin School District who struggles with physical limitations, please consider nominating them on the Patriotic Kenny Foundation website https://www.patriotickenny.com/. Additionally, please email Brandi Lautigar, Nashwauk-Keewatin School Social Worker, at blautigar@isd319.org to inform us of your nomination.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our students/families to contribute and honor one of our local Veterans. Here is how the coin drive works (it is completely voluntary):
Monday, October 21st, students bring in PENNIES
Tuesday: NICKELS
Wednesday: DIMES
Thursday: QUARTERS
Friday: DOLLARS
Thank you in advance for your support!
Sincerely,
Brandi Lautigar
Nashwauk-Keewatin School Social Worker

6th Grade enjoyed a fall walk on this beautiful day and got some great class pictures!
Beginning next week, library/media workshops will be held with Mrs. Anderson during the end of second hour and beginning of third hour (9:45-10:30). There are different topics each week, but each day within the week will be the same. This ensures flexibility for students to plan accordingly with their class work.
The outdoor classes at Nashwauk High School had a guest speaker today, Rachel, from "Friends of the Boundary Waters." She gave an overview of the BWCA, showed maps, pictures, and how to do a trip. Students had great questions and were very interested!
