Under guidance from the Minnesota
Department of Health and the Governor
of Minnesota, some operations at
Chanhassen Dinner Theatres (CDT),
including The Music Man, are currently
suspended. The new guidelines
announced on January 6th have allowed
CDT to reopen some additional areas at
limited capacity to allow proper safety protocols and social distancing. CDT will continue to monitor the
situation and reevaluate as more information about COVID-19 unfolds. They are currently aiming for a
summer 2021 return date for The Music Man. CDT currently has permission to open The Music Man when
it is safe to do so.
District 518 Community Education and Luverne Community Education collaborate to attend CDT
performances. We have tickets for The Music Man, which will hopefully open this summer, followed by
Cinderella, for which we also have tickets. If you are interested in being notified when the CDT reopens

MENTAL HEALTH
As your school counselors’ our job is to help during times of stress and
anxiety. We believe it is important to acknowledge the many challenges
we are currently facing in our lives. Many of us are feeling anxious,
depressed, overwhelmed and stressed. Despite all of this, we can make it
through this together. We, as your counselors, want to be able to support
you and have conversations about healthy ways to cope with these
feelings. Please reach out and talk with a trusted individual in your life.
Your school counselors are here to support all students, families and staff.
No matter what changes come along, nothing will change our commitment
to you!
