"On Monday I spent time in Bayfront attending the 'Unity in Our Community' event organized by Duluth Public Schools. Being a better partner includes with ISD 709. It wasn't the best of weather, but it was still a really strong turnout! From arts and crafts to bouncy houses, and the exciting backpack giveaway by the Family Freedom Center and Cirrus Aircraft, and blue jean pick from Maurices - every aspect was bringing our community together and launching our youngest members in the right direction for the start of the school year. I applaud the Duluth Public Schools, and the countless volunteers involved, for recognizing the importance of uniting students, families, and the greater Duluth community."

Howie: A permanent record of Northeastern Minnesota high school sports

This project is rooted in a belief that local prep sports matter. They matter because they teach discipline, resilience, teamwork and leadership. They matter because generations of families share experiences together. Most importantly, they matter because they help define who we are as communities.
