🚨 BIG WIN FOR W-K CTE! 🚨
The Wabasha-Kellogg School District #811 CTE Department just brought home 1st PLACE and a $10,000 FutureForward™ Impact Grant through the Minnesota Service Cooperative CTE Pathway Growth Initiative! 🎉💰
In just 5 minutes, CTE Instructor Tyler Heimermann pitched in front of nearly 90 attendees — alongside four other schools — and absolutely nailed it.
The winning idea? A School-Based Enterprise (SBE) where students won’t just sit in a classroom learning about business…
💼🔥 They’ll actually RUN one. 🔥💼
This program is all about:
✨ Real-world, resume-ready experience
✨ Strong partnerships with local businesses
✨ Clear pathways after graduation
✨ A student-run enterprise that generates revenue to grow even bigger opportunities
The $10,000 grant will fund equipment and startup materials to launch this exciting new initiative — and we can’t wait to see it in action!
This was a true team effort by the entire W-K CTE & Business Department, and it’s another incredible example of how our schools are preparing students for real careers right here in our community. 🙌

✨ Feeling Better Starts Close to Home ✨
At Eagle Valley Chiropractic - Wabasha/Lake City – Wabasha & Lake City, it’s all about helping people feel their best with care that’s safe, effective, and truly personalized—because no two bodies (or days!) are the same.
More and more research continues to show that chiropractic care can help reduce pain and improve daily movement, while often helping people avoid more invasive options like surgery or long-term medications.
🧠 So what’s new?
A 2025 review in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy found that spinal manipulation can help reduce pain and disability—no matter the specific technique used. The big takeaway?
➡️ The best care is the kind that feels comfortable, safe, and tailored specifically to you.
