A collaborative art project at Minnewashta Elementary has rapidly become a hub of school spirit and community. The source of connection? Ducks, which have become an icon for growth, authenticity, positivity and collaboration for Minnewashta students and staff alike.

This spring, the inaugural class of Minnetonka High School VANTAGE Fashion students collaborated with the school’s Best Buddies program to host the first “Redefining the Runway” fashion show. The event was a fundraiser for the Best Buddies Minnetonka Chapter, a club that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 

“When students are empowered to pursue their passions and aim high, we see incredible outcomes take shape,” said Superintendent of Schools David Law. “This moment recognizes our students' dedication and the strong network of teachers, families and community members surrounding them in Minnetonka Schools. We are proud to cheer them on as they forge their path ahead.”
