Special education teachers don’t just teach academics; they help students find their place in the world.

People from the Brainerd area came together on Monday to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Organizers hope the event symbolizes a building block towards establishing long-standing habits.

The community is invited to gather for an evening of reflection, learning, and celebration at the Indigenous People’s Celebration on Monday, October 13, 2025, at the Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts.

Brainerd’s Early Childhood programs are more than just a stepping stone to Kindergarten — they’re a launchpad for lifelong learning.
