• Waconia welcomes new teachers (hometownsource.com) — Nearly 4,000 students are back in Waconia Public Schools, and District 110 has added 17 new teachers and specialists across Waconia High School, Waconia Middle School, Laketown, Southview, Bayview, and early childhood programs. Their roles range from speech language pathology and special education to social work, music, and industrial technology, expanding support and opportunities for local students this year.
• AA Week in Review (milesplit.com) — Minnesota's AA cross-country rankings shifted after several big invitationals, including the Wildcat Invitational hosted by Waconia, where top-ranked Mankato East tested itself on a tough course. The roundup explains how boys' and girls' contenders like Perham, Northfield, Orono, and others now stack up heading into the final month before section races.
• Arlys Stanga (amazingmadison.com) — An 89-year-old woman who recently died at Ridgeview Waconia Hospital in Waconia is being remembered for her decades as a hairdresser, teacher, and devoted partner to her late husband, Alan. Her funeral will be held October 3 in Sioux Falls, with burial in rural Salem and a livestream available through the funeral home.
