Wednesday night, January 23 the MSHSL Region 5A Sub-Section 18 Triple A banquet was held in St Cloud. Pine City's representatives were Seniors Elizabeth Cahill and Tommy Ryan who were accompanied by their parents.

Good luck wherever the future takes you. Also involved in the banquet was Superintendent Annette Freiheit who was on the selection committee to pick the one boy and girl from the 10 schools in the Sub-Section who will advance to the Region 5A competition.
For over 35 years, the Pine City Schools have featured "February I Love to Read Month" to help students apply their instruction in decoding and comprehending text to learning content and experiencing the joy of reading. This year's coordinators of the events, Jeanne Lundholm and David Sprunk, have announced that the 2019 author will be Traci Sorell, whose book "We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga" was named one of the best children's books of the year by "Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal", National Public Radio, and the Chicago Public Library.
Sorell, who was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, will be at Pine City Elementary working with students and teachers on February 12th and 13th. She also received an M.A. in American Indian Studies from the University of Arizona and a law degree, J.D. from the University of Wisconsin.
In addition to reading and discussing her books with the learners, Ms. Sorell will explain her motivation to become an author of children's literature.
