On stage November 9-11 at CA-Bloomington, Clue, the internationally popular game, became a fun-filled musical which brought the world’s best known suspects to life and invited the audience to help solve the mystery: who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room, and with what weapon? Favorites such as Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, and Colonel Mustard were all present.
Audience members received forms to help them deduce the solution from clues
given throughout the show. Audience members then chose from cards representing
the potential murderers, weapons and rooms; there were 216 possible solutions! Every
performance was different.

On Sunday, September 18, 2005, Concordia Academy-Roseville and Concordia Academy-Bloomington hosted The Concordia Connection: two events to celebrate the joint ministry of the schools.
The Concordia Connection, a 20-mile run, symbolically marked the new relationship.
Brian Melendez (LHS '86), teacher at Concordia Academy-Bloomington, and Elizabeth
Bohren, teacher at Concordia Academy-Roseville, led runners from Roseville
to Bloomington. Stations of the run included Como Park; Concordia University,
St.
Paul, the first home of Concordia Academy; West River Parkway and 36th St.;
and Lake Nokomis. Thirty-two participants ran one or more legs of the
distance between
Roseville and Bloomington. Two students from CA-Roseville ran the entire 20-mile
distance.
After the run, Rev. Brendan Prigge (LHS '83) and CA-Roseville Principal Rev. Tim Berner (CA '85) led 200 students, alumni, and supporters in a worship -service celebrating the ministry of both schools. Students from bands and choirs at each school performed at the service. Prigge’s message likened the new relationship of the schools to a marriage, referring to a passage from Matthew 19:4-6, “What God has joined together, let no one put asunder.” He described that, like in a marriage, each of the schools will remain unique, but will be “better together.”
