How many of you have ever been on a riverboat?

This year, NRHEG High School juniors and seniors, along with their prom dates, are going to take a ride down the St. Croix River on Saturday, May 3.

For 30 years, NRHEG students have held prom at local school gymnasiums, followed by the after prom party at the Geneva Community Building. People have talked about trying something new for a few years. After last year’s prom concluded, school personnel, students, parents, and the after prom committee started looking at new ideas. Many heard about what other school districts have been doing, such as prom cruises, which seemed interesting. So, it was decided to give it a try.

Community Vacation Bible School will take place June 2-6 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at First Lutheran Church, 503 Radel Court, Ellendale. 

Five area churches will volunteer to prepare supper each evening: St. Aiden’s Parish, Ellendale; First Lutheran Church, Ellendale; Ellendale United Methodist; Community Lutheran Geneva; and Vibrant Life, Ellendale. 

NRHEG students enjoy trip of a lifetime to Washington, D.C.

What better way is there to learn about the history of our country than to visit its more-than-two-century-old Capitol? One can practically see the ghosts of generations past throughout the city, as if stepping back in time. Walking the streets and halls that once held some of the most powerful and influential people in the world, the people who created the country we live in today – no textbook can compare.

NRHEG students had the opportunity to witness all of this themselves in a recent four-day, three-night trip to Washington, D.C.
