NEW ARRIVALS: Via MPR, VERBATIM: “Alma Contreras remembers how hard it was to connect with people in rural western Minnesota when she came from Mexico 16 years ago after her husband was hired by a large local dairy operation. Those memories drive her to help other immigrants coming to the region. She volunteered for years to help other new arrivals navigate life in America, from understanding the school or medical system to getting registration tabs at the motor vehicle department.” LISTEN: https://fluence-media.co/41WWr2t
ROCK & ROLL: Via CCX Media, VERBATIM: “At one Maple Grove elementary school, two Osseo Area Schools teachers are fostering a lifelong love of music with their modern rock band. Unlike a traditional elementary school band, they’re teaching students rock band instruments. That’s right– drums, guitar, bass, percussion and even vocals. The kids meet in music specialist Stefan Wolf’s classroom every Friday before the school day starts. Their band is called the Wolf Pack.” WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4iC4WHf

DOGS: Via St. Cloud Times, VERBATIM: “The counseling office at Tech High School in St. Cloud has a new addition to the team this year. Jennifer Schad, a school counselor at Tech High School, brings her golden retriever Murphy, a therapy dog, with her several days a week to help students feel comfortable in the guidance counselor's office. This school year is the first time Murphy has helped alongside Schad. After she entered Murphy in the school's talent show last year, she saw how much fun the students had with him.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/41AsS6N

URBAN AG: Via Minnesota Spokesman Recorder, VERBATIM: “Black women have long been at the heart of agriculture, from ancestral sharecropping to modern-day urban farming movements. Princess Titus, co-founder of Appetite for Change, a local nonprofit that uses food as a tool to promote health, wealth, and social change, is a leader dedicated to reclaiming land, food and power for her community. Titus’ journey into urban farming was deeply influenced by her grandmothers, Odessa and Laura, who used food as medicine and a means of community-building.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/42d5e1G
