In 2023, we will celebrate the silver anniversary of Renville County residents supporting our cancer survivors. The volunteers of the Renville County Walk in the Park know well that life’s difficulties can create havoc. It is for this reason that the Renville County Walk In The Park is announcing January’s four-week cancer survivors empowerment group, “Stronger Together.” said Renville County Walk in Park Executive Director Sara Maher. “A comment from one of our survivors after our first meetings left us with the true importance of gathering together. She related that she knows that whatever questions she has about her journey, she feels she can come to Stronger Together and we will help her out. And that is what it is all about a safe place, to gather, relax and enjoy an elegant homemade meal together.

The single question will focus on the need for a new elementary building. The site selected for the new building is the current Reede Gray site. The new school would be built in the southeast corner of the current lot. The Woodale building and lot has also been acquired by the school district. This was necessary to meet Minnesota Department of Education guidelines for acreage space of a new elementary and to also provide adequate space for staging and construction if the question were to pass. The Board of Education has taken all of the feedback from the Aug. 9 vote into consideration.
