Ukrainian teens start school in Minnesota
|
Sitting side-by-side on a couch inside a Plymouth home, three teens wearing traditional embroidered Ukrainian clothing held hands tightly — a bit nervous to be interviewed.
“Exciting emotions,” their guardian Anna Prisacari said. “There have been so many emotions.”
The three students just arrived in Minnesota and met a couple of weeks ago, thanks to Prisacari’s desire to help those experiencing war hold on to their education.
Some of Prisacari’s own family is from Ukraine. Prisacari moved to the United States when she was 15-years-old. She went on to earn her PhD and now works for Amazon.
Prisacari brought the teens to Minnesota using the federal program, Uniting for Ukraine, which required her to support them when they arrived. The teens’ families agreed to let Prisacari become legal guardian for the year for 15-year-olds Zlata Bileha from Odessa and Dima Nyzhnyk from Lutsk. The youngest student in the group is 14-year-old Iryna Kononenko from Mykolaiv. | |

AirB-n-BAWK! Minn. egg producer invites guests to stay, work on the farm
|
On a recent Saturday morning outside the little town of Wrenshall, Minn., about a half-hour south of Duluth, it was 5:40 a.m., and the chickens on the Locally Laid egg farm were starting to get restless.
Most people on vacation would still be snoozing. But not Klay Jaeger and his 9-year-old son Isaac. For them, it was time to let out the chickens.
“Good morning!” the elder Jaeger shouted as he opened the door to one of two big coops.
"Just come on out!” Isaac added.
For about $50 a night, the Jaegers slept in a small outbuilding in the chicken yard. It’s two-thirds bunkhouse, one-third chicken coop, separated only by a couple panes of glass. | |
