A message from the Director . . .

I am pleased to be serving you as your Director of Community Education & Services and the District 279 Foundation. District 279 not only offers a superior kindergarten through 12th grade educational program for 22,000 students, but also fully embraces the informal learning opportunities for all 133,000 life-long learners of the Osseo Area School District through Community Education and Services.

The Community Education and Services staff members (identified in our Web pages) are a hard-working team of individuals, dedicated to meeting the needs of life-long learners. You will read about many opportunities for our very youngest learners, to programs and activities for senior citizens. I am confident you will find something of interest for you. Our staff is committed to providing 100%, unparalleled, outstanding customer service. Let us answer your questions and tell us how we can better serve you!

One of the wonderful philosophies of community education is that everyone in the community is a learner and a resource to the system. If you have an idea for a program or activity in which you would like to participate, or talents and abilities to share through teaching, please contact Amy Brengman, Community Education Coordinator, at 763-391-7122 or e-mail at brengmana@district279.org.

You are invited to be a part of shaping the future of community education within District 279. Citizen involvement through active, voluntary participation on the Community Education Program Advisory Council (CEPAC) is an excellent way to become more involved in your community. We believe that learning is a life-long process and a right for all Osseo area citizens; so that they may enjoy the laughter of childhood, the acceptance of youth, the fulfillment of adult life and the companionship of old age. If council activities interest you, please contact me personally at 763-391-7115 or e-mail loobym@district279.org, so we can explore the possibilities together!

I look forward to working with you!

Sincerely,

Michael G. Looby, Director
