Principal's Update

Dear Roadrunner Families,

It was wonderful to see so many families last week at our Family STEAM night with The Works.  There was so much engineering and creativity happening it was fun to see!  Thank you to those of you who were able to join us.  Some families asked about the food.  We catered it from WaZobia Foods and Pastries who serves ethnic food from Nigeria.  The restaurant is loacted at 1025 Currie Avenue North in Minneapolis and is open Tuesday - Sunday from 12 - 9 PM.
