Other <br />plans for a hotel development are currently <br />being prepared for City review and approval. No <br />details or construction plans are yet available on <br />this project. <br /> <br />Construction hours for the current work-site and <br />the projects listed above are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 <br />p.m. Mondays through Fridays. No outdoor work <br />is allowed on weekends or holidays, unless <br />specifically approved in advance by the City of <br />Vadnais Heights. <br /> <br />Mark Graham urges drivers to "please be careful <br />in this area, as there will be construction <br />equipment and dump trucks entering and <br />leaving the site." <br />. <br /> <br />Construction Projects to Affect Labore Road (continued) <br /> <br /> <br />City Funds Willow Lane Elementary Programs <br />Receipts from charitable gambling within Gem <br />Lake city limits have picked up a bit in recent <br />months, allowing Gem Lake to make a long <br />anticipated contribution to the near by Willow <br />Lane Elementary School. <br /> <br />A donation of $1,500 was approved by the <br />City Council on October 16 to support a <br />variety of programs at the school. <br /> <br />According to the school's new principal <br />Brendon Schwirz, the school is very pleased <br />about the donation and is very grateful to the <br />citizens of Gem Lake. The money will be <br />spent in three main areas. <br /> <br />"First, we will be supplementing a very <br />impressive new literacy programs for <br />students," says Schwirz. "Also, we want to <br />recognize outside organizations that play a <br />role in our success, such as the local <br />YMCA, with a special 'Hall of Fame' <br />Display. This will highlight some of the <br />important ways they get involved in our <br />programs." <br /> <br />"And, we also want to recognize student <br />success through measures of academic <br />performance. We want to do this through <br />a 'Student Hall of Fame,' which will be <br />impressive." <br /> <br />Schwirz became principal in July of this <br />year. He comes to the area after serving <br />as an assistant principal for the <br />Robbinsdale School System. <br /> <br /> <br />
