School will be starting in September, right after Labor Day.
Since the consolidating of the country schools in Eden Prairie in 1924, there are modern schools for all grades and classes in Eden Prairie with yellow school buses and all.
In the 1800s, there was a school in all four corners of Eden Prairie. The Anderson log school was first and was located where Sears’ parking lot is in the Eden Prairie Center.
The Gould School followed shortly after where Marshall’s Market is located on the corner of Pioneer Trail and Eden Prairie Road.

I’ve been thinking about happiness and why it eludes so many of us. Sometimes it seems as if Americans are programmed for unhappiness.
While it’s true that many people are enduring uncertainties in the current economic cycle, the majority of Americans are wealthy by the world’s standards. But alas, prosperity fails to deliver on happiness. The more we have, the more we want. We seldom meet the true test of happiness, which someone has described as “wanting what
we have.”

I am the only one in my family who would happily eat Brussels sprouts over exercise. Sadly, as a dietitian mom I have seen my family actually gag when I served them.
Maybe you have created healthy changes in your diet, like even learning how to eat Brussels sprouts because you heard they were good for you. Great! Scientists are saying it is becoming crystal clear that we can no longer neglect exercise to reduce our risk of the three biggies – cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

In nearly every faith tradition stories are central in passing on the convictions, values and beliefs of the faith community to future generations. The primary stories are recorded in sacred texts such as the Koran, Torah and Bible. A notable example of effective storytelling in early Christian writing is the parables of Jesus.

A few weeks ago EP was rated the No. 1 place to live by Money magazine.
In a city that has been awarded such an honor I would expect to see more courtesy and law-biding behavior on behalf of its residents. I witness, almost on a daily basis, drivers ignoring the law and not yielding to pedestrians and bicyclists as per Minnesota statute 169.21, subdivision 2.

I’ve been thinking about finishing well. Like some of you, I watched Dustin Johnson blow a huge lead in the final round of the U.S. Open Golf Tournament. I honestly felt sorry for the man who seemed to have all the composure in the word on Saturday. He led the pack after 54 holes and seemed destined to finish in the top three or four at least! Alas, he is young and vigorous enough to live and
play another day.

The publication, “Lavender,” took the step recently of calling attention to the Rev. Tom Brock of Hope Lutheran Church in North Minneapolis, who has been in attendance at a 12-step style Catholic chastity group organized by those who struggle with homosexuality.

The bond between a parent and child can and should never be underestimated. If you are a parent you don’t need further explanation. As a parent, you feel it, you know it and you live it.
There is no denying it. The overwhelming need to protect and provide for your child is what keeps the human race going. Guess what? It’s no different in the animal world. It’s just much less understood.
