Paula Abdul, Sabrina Carpenter and More Inspire Minnesota Students [VIDEO]

WE had 18,000 students and educators from over 600 Minnesota schools come together yesterday (9/20) to celebrate the contributions of young people and kick-start another year of change. WE Day is part of WE- a movement that brings people together and gives them the tools to change the world globally and locally. Governor Mark Dayton officially proclaimed Tuesday, September 20th 2016 as WE Day Minnesota, a day highlighting youth engaged service learning and philanthropy in communities throughout the state.

Superstars like Paula Abdul (American Idol), Jordan Smith (The Voice) and Sabrina Carpenter (Girl Meets World) were in attendance at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul to inspire the youth of Minnesota.
