The new Bruce Vento Elementary school was dedicated today in Saint Paul. Congressman Vento attended a ceremony at his alma mater, formerly known as East Consolidated, that included songs from the current students and the burial of a time capsule. The legislator plans to retire after 24 years in the U-S Congress to concentrate on his family after finding that he has cancer. Vento gave a speech to thank the school board for the honor of having a school named after him. He also brought some memoribilia.
