Wolf Pack Press - January 22, 2025

In this issue ... Read-a-Thon, spirit night at Zero Gravity, and our mascot gets a name! Oh, and the 4th graders put on an incredible puppet show with the help of Hinterhands Puppet Company, their grade’s artist residency this year. Traveling through time and space, set to Beatles songs, the show was fantastic!

And our mascot's name is...


Frost! Word on the street is that "Anthony" and "Wolfie" were also in the running, but "Frost" seemed the perfect name for St. Anthony Park Elementary's new mascot. He has been putting in appearances at school rallies, and even woke up early one morning to welcome his students to school. Thanks to everyone who helped name him!

SAPSA Needs You!


SAPSA is the parent-led fundraising organization for St. Anthony Park Elementary. Money raised by SAPSA from festivals, sales, community events, Read-A-Thon, donations and other sources funds classroom supplies and resources, artists in residence, the 5th Grade trip to Wolf Ridge, and so much more.


SAPSA can only operate with the help of parents and other family members who give their busy time to help organize events. The SAPSA board will have several openings next year, and we currently need to fill the position of Vice President. So we are in recruiting mode!


Please consider attending a board meeting (the next one is Tuesday, January 14, 6:30-7:30 in the library) to find out more. Or just email Joel Van Valin at communications@sapsamn.org.



Read-A-Thon


The SAP Read-a-Thon is coming up in February! This fun event is also a vital fundraiser for our school!


If you are interested in helping Read-a-Thon lead Sara Shepard (a SAP parent) with the Read-a-Thon in any way—large or small—please reach out to her at sarashepard@comcast.net. You could help behind the scenes by working on materials online or counting minutes read by our students. Or do fun stuff in the school, displaying prizes, keeping classrooms supplied with materials, or attending the celebration assembly and mascot challenge. Be a part of this dynamic winter school event!
