Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community:
The weather has definitely changed! Please encourage your children to dress in layers and bring warm clothing (please label all your child's items) as we go outside nearly every day.
I am so grateful to work in our community, and I'm thankful for the staff members and families who help us create safe and caring learning spaces for our children. Thank you for your partnership and entrusting us with your children. May your family create fun memories during the next week.
Take care, and see you soon!
Corey

More than 500 Receive Vaccines at 5+ Clinic on November 15! |
This past Monday, November 15, in partnership with Community Care Clinics of Minnesota, a COVID vaccine clinic for students ages 5+ was hosted at St. Louis Park Middle School. At the event, 517 students were vaccinated and will have the opportunity to receive their second dose on Monday, December 6. If families signed up and attended the first clinic this past Monday, they are automatically signed up for the second clinic which will also be held at the Middle School.
The event was run by volunteers and could not have been a success without them. THANK YOU to Community Care Clinics medical and non-medical volunteers, St. Louis Park Public School staff volunteers, and St. Louis Park Community Education Volunteer Program volunteers for your time and support!

Girls on the Run at PSI is looking for additional coaches who might be interested in volunteering for the Spring 2022 session! Coaches can be any adult who identifies as female - parents, teachers, other school staff, or friends/family of the PSI community!
In order to coach, you would need to register online through GOTR, and complete the necessary background checks and training. During the season, you must be able to attend and lead lessons 1-2 days per week after school from 2:15-4:00 for 8 weeks from April to June.
If you are a parent of a 3rd-5th grade girl at PSI, volunteering to coach also allows your child to participate in the session, if desired.
