Despite the winter chill, the <br />atmosphere was warm with music, laughter, and <br />the season’s excitement. <br />The afternoon featured festive activities for all <br />ages, including local shops offering holiday crafts, <br />hot cocoa, and seasonal treats. As dusk settled in, <br />Santa arrived on the Lake Elmo Fire Truck, ready <br />to greet all the kids and even said hello to a few of <br />his elves. <br />The highlight of the night arrived—the official <br />lighting of the holiday tree—with caroling led by <br />City Council member Jeff Holtz, and a few words <br />from Mayor Cadenhead, lighting up the heart of <br />the community. <br />Progress continues on the new Lake Elmo <br />Elementary School building, marking an exciting <br />milestone for students, families, and the broader <br />community. Construction remains on schedule, <br />with major structural work completed and crews <br />now focused on interior spaces and site <br />improvements. <br />The new facility is designed to support modern <br />learning, enhance safety, and provide flexible <br />spaces for students and staff. Once complete, <br />the building will offer updated classrooms, <br />improved common areas, and infrastructure that <br />supports current and future educational needs. <br />April 2025 <br />January 2026
