Parkview Elementary in Virginia hosted their annual big truck night. Kind of a magical playground for anyone who ever played with a Tonka Truck! #parkviewelementary #rockridgeschools #bigtrucks #nikonpro #mesabitribune #marksauerphotography

You know, I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!-Dr. Evil (I couldn’t help myself) #stemeducation #marksauerphotography

Just a light hearted day of slime and laughter at the North Star Elementary School in Virginia. The district held a fundraiser and getting to slime your teacher was the treasured top prize. #slime #northstarelementary #rockridgeschooldistrict #mesabitribune #marksauerphotography

Child care workers in the Virginia area and across the state held rallies to bring attention to the lack of funding and the urgent need for more child care spaces. #daywithoutchildcare #childcarerally #mesabitribune #marksauerphotography

Covered a really nice Black History Month program last Wednesday. A lot of people of all races and backgrounds coming together and a chance to meet some of the young people that are going to drive the future. #blackhistorymonth #mesabitribune #marksauerphotography #nikonpro

Covered the Assumption school barn dance last week. The kids have a blast but I still cringe at the 15 year old memories of getting dragged out there and trying to dance with them 😂😂🤦‍♂️ #barndance #assumptionschool #hibbingmn #nikonpro #mesabitribune #marksauerphotography
