Killer Country
Tuesday, March 25, 2025
$104.00
We’ll begin with an included buffet lunch at the Coyote Moon Grille and then head for the St. Cloud Paramount Theatre for Killer Country. The Vees grew up on the road and in the business and have spent the better part of the last 40 years wowing audiences across the world! They have performed, recorded and/or toured with a virtual who’s who of Rock And Roll. In 2008 Jeff and Tommy joined forces with their cousin Matt Vee and his talented wife Julie Velline to form “The Killer Vees.” Tommy’s 17 year old son Bennett Vee will be joining the Killer Vees playing lead guitar. Bennett is the grandson of the late Bobby Vee and the third generation of the Vee family to take the stage! The Killer Country band is rounded out by Brian C. Peters from the Mary Jane Alm band on pedal steel and other assorted guitars along with Kale Reed of Johnny Holm Band fame on fiddle, mandolin and vocals and Alexandra Green sharing female lead vocal responsibilities.
Bus will pick up in Fairfax at the old Middle School at 8 a.m., in Gibbon on the west side of the building at 8:15 a.m. and in Winthrop at the MS/HS bus loop at 8:45 a.m. The bus will return to Winthrop at approximately 5:45 p.m., Gibbon at 6 p.m. and Fairfax at 6:15 p.m.
Second graders were reading and relaxing on camp in day!
Students have many options to choose from for breakfast for National School Breakfast week at the GFW Middle School and High School!

Don't miss the International Festival at GFW Elementary this Friday (March 7) from 6:30-8 p.m.
Our wonderful interns from El Salvador and Spain are organizing the festival along with help from our immersion team. We invite our GFW families to attend! There will be several countries represented with games and scheduled events throughout the night. Students will also get the chance to register for some prizes and everyone will have a chance to sample authentic food from the various countries.
Camp-In day in Mrs. Hartmann's kindergarten class was a BLAST! Students cozied up by the fire, read stories with flashlights, and roasted some marshmallows to make delicious s'mores!
The Immersion Kindergarten class had so much fun being Reading Campers! Ms. Maldonado read an irregular word (heart word) and they would find it in their book, using their flashlights. When they had the word, they flashed their light up to the ceiling and we would come to read the words. They could read Spanish or English irregular words or palabras comunes!

Public Schools Week is a reminder that public education is not just about schools—it’s about people.
Public education represents opportunity, inclusion, and the shared belief that every child deserves a chance to learn, grow, and succeed.
It is made possible by the dedication of our teachers and staff, who inspire students daily. It’s also thanks to our families and caregivers who champion their children’s education.
Thank you to everyone at GFW Public Schools who works so hard to provide great opportunities for our students!
While Brayden did not advance to state, he did have two wins at sectionals which means he has passed the milestone of 50 career wins! Way to go!
Congratulations to all of the GFW High School students who made the A Honor Roll!
Good luck again to GFW Junior Brayden Miller as he wrestles for New Ulm tomorrow! He will compete this weekend in individual sections to see if he goes to state. He is one win away from 50 varsity career wins.!
