New group will support gifted students and their families
Janette Boik knows the kinds of challenges that exist for families with children who are academically advanced.
That’s why she got involved with the local chapter of the Minnesota Council of Gifted and Talented when she moved to Rosemount six years ago, and it’s why she’s involved again now as the group reorganizes itself after disappearing for a couple of years.

Tennis: Offseason work pays off quickly
When sophomore Stuart Hatlen rallied against his opponent from Hastings on Monday, it was another reminder of the development of the Rosemount boys tennis players.
Since becoming Rosemount’s coach, Jeanne Ewen has stressed the importance of playing during the offseason. Entering this spring, many of the players had played more during the offseason than at any other time for the Irish.

Boys golf: Reaching low numbers early
With high expectations entering last season, Rosemount boys golf coach Greg Gamache admits to a slow start by the Irish.
Once the golfers started to reach their potential, Rosemount finished strong. Yet, even during the run to the section meet, the Irish didn’t shoot below a 310. In the section meet, they finished with a 303.

Baseball: A short wait for the first ‘W’
If new Rosemount baseball coach Chris Swansson could have designed how he wanted his team to start this season it likely wouldn’t have approached what the Irish were able to accomplish in real life.
Rosemount started Swansson’s tenure as coach with three wins in its first three games. It was an accomplishment built on solid pitching and a lot of hitting, a combination any coach would be proud of.

Girls track and field: Irish learn from first meet of the season
As excited as Rosemount girls track and field coach Sara Hatleli was entering this season, she knew there was work ahead.
One of the reasons the Irish have a lot of work ahead of them is because the overall numbers of athletes has increased again this season.

Building international bonds
Nadezha Rybina has made a lot of valuable discoveries since arriving in the United States in August, but ask her which have had the most impact and brownies are right up at the top of the list.
Well, brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Apparently American-style baked goods aren’t big in Siberia.

At RHS, testing season has arrived
Plenty of students have nightmares about taking tests. Kim Budde has been having nightmares about giving them.
That’s a big thing this time of year. Budde is an assistant principal at Rosemount High School, and this is the heart of testing season. For students, that means a schedule filled with standardized exams identified by acronyms — SAT, ACT, AP — and includes two days of standardized tests next week to determine whether they’ll get to graduate and how their school is progressing toward national No Child Left Behind goals

Volunteers are vital in Rosemount
If it weren’t for volunteers, Rosemount’s schools would look very different. Crowd control at large public events would be difficult. And large-scale community celebrations like Leprechaun Days? You can forget about those.

Schools could offer bus service to more students, for a price
Students who live within walking distance of their schools might be able to get a ride next year, but it’s going to cost them.
School board members took a first look Monday at a plan to charge a $250 annual fee for students whose parent would rather they not walk to school. The district would charge a $125 fee for students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.
