PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Greetings,


November is National Native American Heritage Month.  During this month we observe the contributions of our Indigenous communities to St Louis Park Schools.  This is a time to celebrate and honor Native Americans as we learn about the traditions, oral histories, arts, and lived experiences that shaped our nation.  Through the SLP Land Acknowledgement we recognize land where we now reside.  


Take care, be well, and Go Park!

LaNisha Paddock, Principal
