The Minnesota Department of Health recommends that all school-age youth returning to school, sports, or extracurricular activities, and their families, get tested for COVID-19 every two weeks through the end of the school year.
Testing, plus wearing masks and taking other precautions, such as social distancing and staying home (quarantining) when needed, are some of the best tools we have to prevent the spread of COVID-19. By getting tested every two weeks from now until the end of the school year, we can help keep schools open and sports operating, and ensure we are limiting the spread of COVID-19. Anyone could have COVID-19 and not know it. Getting tested regularly is the best way to know you are still healthy.
All options are quick, easy, and free to you. Visit Getting Tested for COVID-19 or contact your health care provider to schedule an appointment.

Today the seniors beat the juniors in the volleyball match for homecoming week! The high school also voted today for the king and queen which will be announced at coronation on Friday!
Congratulations to our McGregor Elementary Students of the Month for January. These young people have done a great job of living up to the Mercury Ways. I'd like to thank Pine Insurance Agency and Nate Jackson for providing the t-shirts for the students.
We posted their individual pictures the other day but thought we'd show them with their new shirts. Way to go!!
I had the pleasure to watch the kindergarten in action today working on subtraction problems. Ms. K. had them working with sharks and gummy bears. The students had a great time figuring out the math problems and in the end they got to be the shark and had to eat the gummy bears.
The after school Super Heroes Club have been busy with some artwork. Check out the pictures of the snakes they made.
