Help Restock the Teacher's Lounge for Conferences


ree

Conferences begin this week, and this will mean long days for the teachers and staff. We would like to provide them some extra goodies in the teacher's lounge to help fuel them. There are about 65 staff members between the teachers, student teachers, and support teams. Like any big group there are allergies and dietary restrictions, so if you bring anything that is homemade please label if there are nuts or gluten or other high allergen ingredients.

 

Coffee pods and snacks that can be eaten on the go are very popular. Your donations are very much appreciated by the team!


Please sign up for items and bring them to the front office any time from tomorrow, March 21st, through Thursday, March 28th. Sign up HERE.

Luminary Festival

The third annual Luminary Festival was a breathtaking community event! Thank you to the many people who came together and volunteered to make it happen, and to everyone who came out for it! Alisa Mee, Saint Paul Librarian, did charming, old-timey light up 'cranky' stories. Eddy the fire dancer and the rest of his troupe put on a stunning and exciting show. Anna Gaseitsiwe of The Makery built a beautiful art installation.


It's not too late to donate, if you enjoyed the Luminary Festival! Here's the link: https://www.givemn.org/event/Sapluminary

Science Fair Volunteers


The SAP Science Fair is coming up!  It takes place on Monday, March 25th.  Students in grades 3-5 have been working hard on their projects.  We hope to see a lot visitors during the evening session.  Students who complete projects at home will bring them to school the morning of March 25th.  Students who complete projects at school or during EDL will already have them at school.  Students will share their projects with other students and evaluators during the day and families and friends are encouraged to come in the evening of Monday, March 25th from 6-7 PM.  We are still in need of about 20 people to help evaluate projects during the day from 7:45 AM-11:05 AM.  It is a non- competitive format.  No science background is needed to be an evaluator, just the ability to ask students questions about their projects and to listen to students share what they learned.  Please also share with anyone else who may be interested.  Here is the LINK.


Please let Mr Schrankler know if you have any questions!
