Hello Peter Hobart Community,
As Teacher Appreciation Week is next week, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the hard work our teachers put in to educate and inspire our students. Their dedication and commitment have not gone unnoticed.
Thank you, to our Peter Hobart teachers, for helping us to navigate the challenges and encouraging us to achieve our goals. During these challenging times, they have adapted to the changing circumstances and gone above and beyond to ensure that students continue to grow.
Thank you for the unwavering commitment to the education and well-being of our students. Peter Hobart teachers have truly made a difference, and I am grateful for everything they have done.
I hope this Teacher Appreciation Week brings the recognition and appreciation they deserve!

IB Inquiry Week of May 1st | |
Learning about Language and Culture | |
As an International Baccalaurate (IB) school we value learning about world cultures and languages. New this year, our PH students have had the opportunity to explore Arabic (grades 2 & 3) and Ojibwe (grades 4 & 5), in addition to Spanish (grades K & 1).
Spanish continues to be an important part of our culture and language program; the inclusion of Arabic and Ojibwe provides an opportunity for students and staff to grow their worldview. Arabic was selected because it is fast growing with more than 274 million speakers. Ojibwe holds significance to the people and land that St. Louis Park Public Schools resides on.
During our language and culture rotations, students learn from culture and language specialists, who teach 30-45 minute lessons through the lens of their lived experience and ancestral knowledge. Gratitude to our specialists Ms. Sammi (Ojibwe), Ms. Feriel (Arabic), and Ms Deisy (Spanish) for enriching our worldview. (Ms Deisy is pictured with her former 2nd grade teacher, Meghan Malone)
