Anoka-Hennepin Community Education

Don’t squish these creatures too tight! Students had the opportunity to replicate their favorite Squishmallows out of clay during a recent summer class. They made all kinds of Squishmallow-inspired creations, including frogs 🐸, cats 🐱, and cows!🐮

Participants in our Project Power program crafted these custom beach-inspired centerpieces for their homes. 🌊⚓ They used sand, shells and other coastal decorations to complete their shore-themed projects!

“We got spirit, yes we do! We got spirit, how about you?!” 📣👏

Our summer youth cheer camp gave these students a chance to show off their pep at Anoka Middle School. The group practiced classic cheers, chants, and cheerography to perfect their routines during the four-day camp!

🦴 What an incredible discovery! Blake, a student in the Adventures Plus program at Crooked Lake Elementary found a very old bison bone while hiking with A+ on the school’s nature trail. Staff sent a picture to a University of Minnesota paleontologist who identified the bone as a bison tibia, possibly an Ice Age fossil! 🦬 🔍

These Minecraft lovers put their building skills to the test to see who could craft the most epic structure in the Minecraft Olympics youth summer class at Anoka Middle School. Some students even came dressed for the occasion! 💚

Students in the K-Pop Anime Manga Art youth summer class at Anoka Middle School got to express their love for K-Pop in drawing form! From cute cat noodles to stylish poses, their work was bursting with creativity! ⭐️
