Last week the teaching staff from Lakeville North High School ascended onto Downtown Lakeville – visiting 18 of our businesses and learning what they do, why they like their job, and what they are looking for in candidates. This is a part of Principal Budde’s mission to help our educators teach their students not only the WHAT in their course material, but also the WHY – including preparation for their future success on the job. A special thank you to the City of Lakeville – including Mayor Hellier, Councilmembers Lee and Bermel, City Administrator, Justin Miller, Chief Paulson, and Chief Meyer for welcoming them into City Hall and talking about how important their role as teachers is in the prosperity of Lakeville.

Who should attend?  Any organization who is wondering how this program affects them and how they might need to adjust their policies. There is no cost to attend the meeting.
