Events @ OEC

Students and staff at the Osseo Education Center have spent February celebrating Black History Month. On Feb. 11, all students gathered for an all-school movie. They watched “The Six Triple Eight,” based on the true story of an all-black, all-female battalion during WWII. On Feb. 20, students celebrated Black History Month with a soul food sampling, tasting foods such as fried chicken, candied yams, cornbread, mac and cheese, greens with smoked turkey, sweet potato pie and peach cobbler. On Feb. 14, 21 and 28, students visited the Minnesota African American Heritage Museum & Gallery to learn more about the history, art and culture of African Americans in Minnesota.

On Feb. 5, students at the Osseo Education Center were visited by a community art expert, who led them through a variety of projects that put their artistic skills to the test. The students used paint and tape to create beautiful patterns and designs and showcase their creativity!

The Osseo Education Center recently launched a new Storybook Trail on the grounds of the school. The trail, which wraps around the grounds, lets visitors see a new page of a book at each station.
