Meanwhile, East Ridge High School sent out a notice about the work’s impact on traffic.
It’s feeling like that old saying about Minnesota having two seasons is true… The city of Woodbury on Monday sent out an updated schedule for this year’s roadwork projects, noting that drivers should expect delays, especially during rush hours. The Woodbury Drive (County Road 19) project is expected to begin April 22. Plans call for the road to be expanded from two lanes to four from Park Crossing south to Saint Ambrose.

The Woodbury school is hosting the fair for the first time this year.
There are more than 200 students at East Ridge High School enrolled in special-needs programs. And the decisions facing those who are graduating this spring are as varied as the students themselves. East Ridge High School for the first time this year will hold a “Transition Fair,” giving students and their parents the chance to hear from more than 40 vendors on everything from post-secondary education to housing options and job opportunities, said Rob Weberg, special education teacher at the Woodbury school. “There’s been a real need for it,” he said.

A new black box theater at East Ridge High School, the second campus for the Merrill Community Arts Center, is nearly complete.
Woodbury residents will have the chance Friday to check out the second phase of the Merrill Community Arts Center—a black box theater connected to East Ridge High School. Construction on the 112-seat, 3,600-square-foot theater began last June, following the opening of the arts center’s Rivertown Campus, an 8,000-square-foot facility that includes space for set design and construction, storage and rehearsals. About $2.2 million for the arts center came from the estate of late Woodbury resident Dorothy K. Merrill. The plans have been in the works for more than five years.

Woodbury police partner with school’s SADD group for first time on “Grim Reaper” day.
There were somber moments Thursday at East Ridge High School. The Woodbury school’s Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) group held its annual “Grim Reaper” day, in which certain students are excused from part of one period and cannot talk the rest of the day. Some had on makeup that made them look like a dead person and wore shirts reading: “I was killed by a drunk driver.” East Ridge, which has held the event over the past few years, partnered with the Woodbury Police Department for the first time this year. Officers briefly spoke to students about the dangers of drinking and driving during class Thursday. “The classroom was very somber,” said Woodbury traffic officer Scott Melander. “I think the message got delivered quite well…
