Dr. Don Helmstetter, Superintendent of Spring Lake Park District 16, was recently named Minnesota's Superintendent of the Year by the Minnesota Association of School Administrators. In our work with District 16 to evaluate their Safe Schools/Healthy Students initiative and now in kicking off our evaluation of their Small Learning Communities grant, we have been greatly impressed with the commitment and creativity of their staff. This has very much reflected Dr. Helmstetter's leadership.

Congratulations!
