 | Concordia Creative Learning Academy recognized by business leaders
(St. Paul, MN, September 2010) — The Minnesota Business
Partnership (MBP) presented Mary L. Donaldson, principal of Concordia Creative Learning Academy, with a $10,000 check to recognize the school’s success
in raising overall student performance and closing the achievement gap between
white, minority and low-income students.
John
Stanoch, Minnesota president of Qwest and chair of the Partnership’s Education
Policy Committee, presented the Minnesota’s Future Award check to Donaldson at a
school assembly.
“We call this the Minnesota’s Future Award, because quality education
is critical to your future and the future of our state,” Stanoch said. “We need
to recognize, encourage and learn from schools like Concordia Creative Learning Academy, which teach us ‘poverty’ and ‘minority’ don’t have to be synonymous
with ‘low grades’ and ‘high failure rates.’” To read more, visit the MESPA Press Room.
