The Community Education Advisory Board will gather on Thursday, September 28, 4 p.m. for the first meeting of the 2023-2024 school year.

The fall session of Driver’s Education has already reached the halfway point for classes. The thirty hours are scheduled for Saturday morning and Sunday evenings which seem to fit the schedules of students enrolled. The last session is planned for Sunday, October 15 with the Point of Impact session for parents or guardians held the last part of the class that evening.
“The Lion King” will be presented by the Sleepy Eye High School drama department on October 12, 14 and 15th. Pre-sale reserved seating and general admission tickets may be purchased October 2nd-6th and October 9th-11th from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the SEHS concession stand. Tickets are also available at the door, one hour prior to performances.

A fall outing to the Amish at Harmony is planned for Friday, October 13 with registration due October 5. Step back in time and visit Old Order Amish at their farms. The motor coach will journey through the countryside and stop at homes where baked goods, baskets, wood crafts, quilts etc. are for sale. With the leaves getting more colorful, this could be a scenic ride.
