Pequot Lakes High School seniors experienced real world situations at the annual Reality Store on Friday, Feb. 15, where seniors learned firsthand what life will be like after graduation.

In the Reality Store experience, students choose their careers and a computer database randomly assigns them a marital status, income and number and age of children.

The students then visit booths throughout the gym staffed by local educational and business professionals who provide students what they need for their families.

A certified University of Minnesota Extension Crow Wing County Master Gardener will teach a Beginner Gardening class from 6:30-8 p.m. Monday, March 4, in Room 109 at Pequot Lakes High School.

Master Gardeners are University of Minnesota-trained volunteers whose job is to educate the public about a variety of horticulture subjects using readily available, up-to-date research-based information. The Master Gardener Program educational effort is designed to enhance the public’s quality of life and to promote good stewardship of the environment.

Tiger Ticket winner Evan Fenstermaker, a fourth-grader in Mr. Dinnel’s class, was the weekly winner of the Pine River-Backus Elementary School Tiger Ticket drawing. He got to use principal Jackie Bruns’ chair for the day.

The following Pequot Lakes High School students were named to the first semester honor roll.
