 Over 17 years, the school craft learning community Winterfest at Concordia Language Villages has brought out students from all grade levels. Winterfest helps winter go by a little quicker for them. The different activities like dog sledding, ice fishing, and getting up close and personal with a fox named Ember keep the students busy. At the same time, students learn about their environment. We have a unique setting for our school here in Northern Minnesota. We're on a lake, we're in the woods, and it was just wonderful to be able to use the resources that were out here, get out on the lake when it's frozen. Alumni students also came back to enjoy Winterfest there as well. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
