Minnetonka Public Schools

This spring, seventh graders in Dawn Sorenson’s technology education class worked together to make life a little easier for Maple, a local pet chicken beloved by an MME family. Students used the engineering design process to fit Maple with a prosthetic foot.

This winter, developmental adaptive physical education (DAPE) teacher Kristin Goeser partnered with Josh Bakke, a physical education teacher at Minnetonka Middle School East, and David Davin, an MME paraprofessional, to plan a unit about wheelchair basketball for a class that included a student who uses a wheelchair. Students learned about the history of paralympic sports and had the opportunity to use sport wheelchairs.

Each year, Minnetonka Public Schools surveys current parents about their family’s educational experience in our schools. Results of the survey were outstanding, showing high confidence in our programs, schools, teachers and leadership.
