Believe it or not, it's already fall—and another year has started at St. Anthony Park Elementary!
This is first edition of the Wolf Pack Press, the bi-weekly online newsletter published by SAPSA (St. Anthony Park School Association). We hope to keep you posted about school news and events, and celebrate the school and its students and staff. In the past we have also published interviews, columns, and other features. If you'd like to contribute or have an idea, please let us know (contact info at the end of this post).
The first week of school was beautiful and exciting. Thanks to the artists who showed up for Chalk the Walk to welcome everyone back!
