Minnetonka Public Schools

In late January, Minnetonka students, teachers, staff, families and community members joined together to celebrate the Lunar New Year and welcome the year of the snake through the District’s Chinese New Year Celebration.

Wade Salvey from Scenic Heights Elementary successfully spelled “toorie” (a tassel on a Scottish bonnet) to win the competition. He will represent the Twin Cities at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in National Harbor, Maryland this May.

The Minnetonka School Board has unanimously voted to put forth a referendum in November asking voters to consider an $85M Building Bond. It has been 29 years since the school district last presented residents with a building bond referendum to support construction projects in its schools.
