National School Lunch Week recognizes the importance of a healthy school lunch for students. School nutrition professionals across the state are working hard to produce meals that focus on health while also enticing the palate. Here are a sampling of lunches from across the state. Willmar Public School District's Lasagna is a scratch made entree paired with whole grain garlic toast with steamed vegetables and salad. Students like that they're eating something that tastes like it was homemade.

"The diary of Ilya Gerber, written while in the Kovno ghetto, was an unexpectedly intense body blow. The diary was extraordinary in its ordinariness and remarkable in its unremarkable-ness.

With the colored pencil hearts and initials of his crush scribed in the margins, any one of the kids in my classes could have a notebook that looks and, in some ways, reads like it."

And just like that, our spring field trip season has wrapped up! Today we welcomed 3rd grade students from @owatonna761, McKinley Elementary.

This May, we hosted over 1,100 students from 20 different schools! This would not be possible without our AMAZING volunteers who went above and beyond all month long!☀️

As Miss Owatonna’s Teen, I want to give a big thank you to all of the incredible teachers who make a difference every single day. Your patience, encouragement, and dedication inspire students to grow not only academically, but also as people. Thank you for believing in your students, and working tirelessly to help shape the future of our community. Your kindness reaches far beyond the classroom and I truly appreciated for all that you do. Mr.Kruger for helping me find who I am as a person. Mrs.Schropefer for helping me love reading. Mrs. Hozerland for always being so positive. Mrs. Trautman for teaching me so many new things. Mrs. Justice for always being there for me no matter what. Mrs. Andrix for making math fun and easier!

As Miss Owatonna’s Teen, attending bingo nights is one of my favorite ways to connect with the community and promote inclusivity. It’s a space where people of all ages and backgrounds come together, share laughs, and feel like they belong. I love seeing friendships form across generations and making sure everyone feels welcomed and valued, because that’s what truly builds a strong community.

Spending time at local softball games is another way I celebrate Owatonna’s long-standing traditions. There’s something special about sitting in the stands, cheering on familiar faces, and being part of something that has brought people together for years. It’s more than just a game—it’s a reminder of the pride and connection that runs deep in our town.

Watching Owatonna track meets is just as meaningful, especially when I get to cheer on people I care about. The energy is contagious, and it’s amazing to see athletes push themselves and support one another. These events are also a great way to meet new people, build connections, and continue strengthening the sense of community that makes Owatonna feel like home.

We’re so proud to support the Owatonna community and these future healthcare professionals. The students look fantastic in their new t-shirts, and we’re thrilled they helped build such a strong sense of teamwork and pride within the class.

We wish each of them the very best in their studies and future careers and we hope that one day some of them may choose to continue their journey with us at Olmsted Medical Center. Thank you for the partnership and for all you do to support our next generation of caregivers! 💙
