Terrible Duluth Public Schools Wikipedia

I am not a Wiki person but I am just putting this out there to those of you who are: check out the Duluth Public Schools Wikipedia Page.  Not only is it outdated and lacks proofreading it is quite salacious and suggests “controversity” (sic) without evidence to support those claims.  I don’t have the knowledge to update the page but would like to see something better out there!

Do you have strong opinions about food?

The Duluth Urban Acres Coalition is studying how Duluthians access food and interact with the local food system. We’ve developed a brief survey that helps us get a sense of how people get food, what barriers (if any) they face when it comes to getting enough healthy food, and how they participate in the local food system. We’d love your input, so please go to the following link and tell us what you think!

KCYO Needs Local Bands

If you are in a local band that just wants some practice time and doesn’t mind kids dancing and hanging out, Friday’s at Irving Community Center we have a place for you to perform for free. From 5pm to 7pm. As long as your music is youth-friendly you are welcome to come jam. Great way to get feedback and practice from the youth ages 6 to 18.
