Art Adventure is a program through Minneapolis Institute of Art that brings art (and parents) into Cornelia classrooms for lively discussions and fun art projects. Teacher, students, and volunteers all love participating — it is something the students really look forward to each month.

Is your child in Ms. Carroll, Ms. Muehlberg, or Mrs. Jansen’s class? We're still looking for parents (or other trusted adults) to volunteer in these classes to make Art Adventure possible. See the link in the comments to sign up.

Questions? Contact the Cornelia Art Adventure Coordinator: Jamie Duhamel at [email protected].

It was great to have so many students and families participating in walking, running, and rolling at this morning's Cornelia Cruisers Fun Run. Thanks to everyone who joined us and helped make this event possible. 🏅👟

And we want to send a shout out to those from the Cornelia community who joined Edina Unified in representing Edina Public Schools at the Special Olympics MN Move for Inclusion Walk which was happening at the same time at Lake Cornelia. A portion of the funds raised at the walk will go back to support Unified programming in our EPS elementary schools. 💚
