Flower pick up will be May 5th from 3:30 -6 pm in the North parking lot at the high school. The flowers/plants that are sold are the usual high Gerten's quality at the same prices you would find at the nursery itself. Gerten's is generous and gives us 30% back on all plants/flowers sold and 10 % back for gift cards. So it is a win/win situation! Anyone can purchase these beautiful plants and pick them up much closer to home and the Fine Arts Program benefits from the proceeds.

If you go to the website gertensfundraising.com and use the school code 954, you will see all the products available. You do not need to enter an individual seller. Any questions or trouble with ordering, please contact me, Heather Penning at 612-986-8239.

This year’s theme is Preparation.

The legendary coach John Wooden said it best, “Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.”

The campers will learn about preparation for golf and for life through fun and engaging activities. This camp is designed for beginners, intermediate, and experienced golfers for high school students entering the 2027-2027 school year.
