Reception honors Lorie Christianson’s half century of involvement at school

A reception was held May 23 for faculty and students during lunches in the library to celebrate Lorie Christianson’s many years of service to Minnehaha Academy. She has been part of the school community for 50 years, participating in her son’s Minnehaha education, volunteering and substitute teaching, and will be leaving this year after 29 years as library assistant at the upper school. She plans to move so she can be closer to her son and grandchildren.
