NRHEG School Board

By REED WALLER

Staff Writer


Valentines in January?

When NRHEG School Board members filed into the Ellendale Media Center last Monday for their regular meeting, they each found a Valentine’s Day box at their place at the table.

“About 70 Valentine’s Day boxes will be delivered to the New Richland Care Center and Whispering Oaks,” said Deb Bently. “They were made by students at an activity day prior to Christmas. But since they weren’t finished on that day, volunteers have been putting in time to be sure they’re completed.”

Survey is due

The much-discussed NRHEG District Survey is out, and it can be mailed in or filled out online at www.survey2000.com. Check your mailbox for details.

The deadline for responses is February 2.

ROSEVILLE — Kimberly Johnson of New Richland won $50,000 by playing Powerball®. Johnson claimed the prize on Jan. 12, 2016. New Richland One Stop, Highways 13 & 30 in New Richland, sold the winning ticket.

More Minnesota winners:

The Waseca Sleigh and Cutter medallion is hidden outdoors, on public property within the Waseca city limits.

A $1,750 prize of Chamber Dollars and store certificates will be awarded to the person who finds the medallion.

Bring the medallion to Charlie’s Hardware. Clues will be published in the Star Eagle. Clues will also be broadcast on KRUE and KOWZ Radio and will be available at Waseca Area Chamber of Commerce at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
