This is what our City Center atrium looked like today. It was our annual Invasion of the 6th Graders. This happens once each year when Oak Point Intermediate School 6th Grade teacher, and Member of the City Council, Ron Case organizes a bike trip for the 6th grade students to see Eden Prairie. 
He always includes a stop at City Center to show his students the seat of city government and the Eden Prairie Historical Society’s museum, which is also in our building.
After the students do a brief tour of the museum, they come upstairs and assemble in our Council Chambers for a briefer lecture on city government. This is where I come in. That’s Councilmember Case in the bike helmet and orange back pack.
I enjoy the annual Invasion of the 6th Graders. The students are interested in city government. They are polite and well mannered. And this is their building too. It’s good to share it with them and give them an early positive impression of city government.
