Four Edina Public Schools volunteers were recognized for their leadership and contributions at the annual Edina Community Foundation Connecting with Kids leadership breakfast on March 13. The event honored a group of seven awardees, nominated by community members, who have made a difference in the lives of children in Edina. The four EPS honorees included a teacher, coach, student and parent:
- Michael Weinkauf, Cornelia Elementary Phy Ed Teacher, School Ambassador
- Jaime Gaard Chapman, EHS Girls Basketball and Girls Tennis Coach/Mentor
- Matthew Hovelsrud, Student Leader
- Chris Moquist, Parent and Community Resource Program Volunteer
The Connecting with Kids program was created to help foster a healthy community and healthy children, establishing ways for the community to participate actively in helping positively impact the youth of Edina.
