Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• JLG Architects celebrates opening of renovated outdoor pavilion at Apple Valley park (rejournals.com) — Apple Valley residents are getting a major upgrade at Kelley Park, with a new amphitheater, splash pad, expanded parking, and the whimsical Purple Bear Playground funded by the 2023 parks referendum. Designers also added sustainable features like solar-ready buildings and water-recycling for irrigation, while nearby Redwood Park is adding an inclusive playground, new courts, and a revamped community pool connected by looped trails.
• Fewer skipped meals, less stigma (hometownsource.com) — Families in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district are seeing real benefits from Minnesota's universal free school meals, with more students eating, less stigma, and easier mornings. Local nutrition staff are using student feedback to introduce popular items like fresh-baked croissants, ramen bowls, and locally sourced produce, even as the statewide program faces rising costs and longer cafeteria lines.
