We just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who showed up Saturday night for our annual Poker Social! ♠️♥️

We had 100+ poker hands registered and raised $5,000+ to go toward our program budget! 🙌

A special thank you to First Farmers and Merchants for sponsoring the event, Mill Street for letting us use your space, and to all of our amazing local businesses who participated and helped make the night such a success. We are so grateful for your continued support of the Cannon Falls community! ❤️

And of course, thank you to everyone who came out and played!

🛝 Big things are happening at Cannon Falls Elementary!

If you've driven by the school lately, you may have noticed some exciting construction underway — and now we can share why! 🎉

The Cannon Falls Education Foundation is thrilled to announce our LARGEST GRANT EVER in our 31-year history: a $350,000 investment in a brand-new playground for our elementary students!

Here's what's coming:
✅ Poured-in-place rubber surface — safer AND easier to maintain
♿ Fully ADA-compliant with accessible ramps and pathways
🔤 Communication boards & number boards for learning through play
🌟 Updated equipment for ALL students to enjoy

Construction began in June 2026 and will be finished before the first day of school. Stay tuned — a ribbon-cutting ceremony announcement is coming soon, and we'd love for the whole community to celebrate with us!

This playground will serve hundreds of children for years to come. We couldn't be more proud to make this investment in Cannon Falls kids. 💚

A huge thank you to our donors and community supporters who make investments like this possible. This is what happens when Cannon Falls comes together for its kids.
