The Melrose Area Arts Council (MAAC) is planning to create a mural on the east wall of Midwest Automatic Products in Melrose, located across from Sauk River Park. This project aims to create a reflective image of our District 740 Area. As we think about what’s important to us and share in this survey what themes we would like to see reflected in the mural, we are bringing communities together through art. We hope to represent the people, history, achievements, ethnicities, and life experiences of all ages. We ask that you take a few minutes to fill out this survey, sharing your thoughts on what themes you would like to see reflected in the mural. With your help we can make this mural a community-involved success. Thank you for your time and participation. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZ9MvwH1cPMUXrl3FlQBQDec7B0OPm6EO5WFWyB-DeHZaeMQ/viewform

Happy Groundhog Day! February 2nd is Groundhog Day, a day to notice whether an emerging groundhog sees its shadow as it comes out of its burrow. If the groundhog sees its shadow, he will return to hibernation and winter will last another few weeks. If it doesn't see its shadow, warm weather is around the corner! According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the groundhog will not see his shadow this year, meaning it will be an early spring for everyone!
Adults and students in grades 7+ are welcome to Open Gym tonight from 7-9pm! $2/Person or $5/Family. Exact change is appreciated! Enter door 2.
