We did it! Peter Hobart Direct recently finished 2 weeks of fundraising and not only did we reach our goal, we crushed it! Thank you for your ongoing support! Peter Hobart has the most amazing community of students, staff, families and community members. We could not have done it without each and every one of you! A huge thank you to Jennie Edstrom and Beth Rose, along with the PTO, who coordinated the fundraising event. We see the benefits of the many wonderful things that PH Direct funds for students and staff, it truly is such a gift. Thank you!

In early September, St. Louis Park Public Schools announced it had formed an Out-of-School Time (OST) Taskforce in order to create a more robust menu of out-of-school time options to meet the overall health, academic and social/developmental needs of all K-5 students and families.
The taskforce is seeking input and feedback throughout the process
