Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community:
On Tuesday evening, St. Louis Park Public Schools hosted an event with the elementary principals for incoming kindergarten families. It was awesome to share the great things that are offered for our children in our elementary schools. I have had the privilege to work in this amazing community for the last 22 years, and during that time, I have been so grateful for the passion, vision, and commitment to fostering positive experiences for our children. This week, as we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have been reflecting on the following quote from him: “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” As we continue to work to actualize our Strategic Plan, I thank you for moving forward with us to create a community where all students can [from our SLP Public Schools Mission Statement] live their brilliance in an environment that centers student voice and experience to create racially equitable learning that energizes and enhances the spirit of our community.
Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us.
Sincerely,
Corey

Every Meal - Weekend Food Program |
Every Meal is asking us to spread the word to families about the Weekend Food Program at your school. The new year can be a time of transition for many, and the pandemic brings additional complications. Our hope is to provide a resource for families in this time of uncertainty.
Students who have already enrolled DO NOT need to re-enroll, but we want to ensure that every child has an opportunity to participate in the program as the school year continues!
Thank you for your partnership in helping to ensure every child gets every meal. Together we are fighting child hunger!

An Update on STEP's Current Pandemic Response |
STEP remains committed to providing a safe environment for clients, volunteers, and staff while still fulfilling our mission of helping our St. Louis Park neighbors in need. We have continued to distribute food, resources, rental assistance, toys, school supplies, and more in great numbers to our clients throughout the pandemic. As we brace for this next wave, STEP has taken extra safety measures to ensure that our neighbors have the resources to meet their basic needs. STEP staff are working remotely 50% of the time to limit exposure-this may impact our response time and we appreciate your patience with us. STEP remains closed for in-person shopping, and appointment-based curbside food pickups remain in effect.
We request that donations be dropped off at either Knollwood and West End Cubs at any time or at Vista Lutheran, ELCA on Tuesdays (until 5pm) and Saturdays (until 3pm). We appreciate your support and understanding during this uncertain time.
Learn about how STEP is safely providing food to neighbors during the pandemic and how you can be involved. Check out stepslp.org or contact the Volunteer Coordinator, sarah@stepslp.org.
