A huge THANK YOU to all the wonderful friends and family who generously donated. Your kindness and generosity mean so much to us! Every donation helps put more books into the hands of our students, inspiring a love for reading and opening doors to new adventures and opportunities.
A special thank-you to our amazing staff member Mrs. Katie Gullickson for spearheading this wonderful activity and bringing the joy of reading to our K–3 students!
Last Thursday, after a wonderful morning at the Apple Orchard, our students continued their exciting adventure with a second stop at Ramsey Park!
The students had a fantastic time playing, exploring the park, and visiting the animals!
A special thank you to CentraCare EMT for making our visit even more memorable! Our students enjoyed the fun quiz game, winning candy prizes, and getting the opportunity to explore the emergency response vehicle up close. What a fun and educational experience!
Our 7th to 12th grade students had a fantastic day today, October 22, 2026 at the Rustic Iron Apple Orchard! From enjoying a fun tractor ride and playing around to feeding the ducks and chickens, there was something for everyone! They also learned how apples are traditionally washed and processed, got to choose their very own pumpkin, and enjoyed a delicious caramel apple treat!
We were so fortunate to have a pleasant weather, hands-on learning, and plenty of laughter. Check out all of the pictures on our Facebook!
At ECHO Charter School, learning goes beyond the classroom—and sometimes, it tastes like caramel apples! 😋🍁
🍎🍏 Apple-solutely Amazing Adventure! 🍂🍁
What a FUN-tastic day at the Rustic Iron apple orchard! Our elementary students took their learning beyond the classroom and jumped into a day filled with fall fun, laughter, exploration, and sweet memories!
Nothing beats fresh air, happy faces, and unforgettable moments with friends!

Celebrating Culture, Diversity, and Unity!
Our students in Mrs. Zurehatu Fuseini's class participated in a meaningful cultural exchange activity, exploring the flags of Ghana, Honduras, and the United States. Through engaging discussions, students shared the history, colors, and symbolism behind each flag while learning to appreciate the unique identities and traditions of different nations.
A wonderful reminder that while our flags may be different, learning about one another brings us closer together!

A heartfelt thank you to the members of the Minnesota Army National Guard who took the time to visit our school and speak with our students. We truly appreciate you sharing your experiences, knowledge, and insights about service, leadership, teamwork, and opportunities for the future.
