Hello Peter Hobart Community,
|
|
This week Ms. Schwietering and Mr. Weaver have been out attending a conference. While they are away our Phy Ed teacher Mr. Massie has stepped in as the lead administrator for our School. Besides working towards achieving the necessary schooling required for his Administrator license, Mr. Massie has been an employee of Peter Hobart for the past 13 years. We wanted to acknowledge what a fantastic job Mr. Massie has been doing this week. It is very apparent that his knowledge and care for our students and staff at Peter Hobart has contributed to the wonderful job he is doing in this role. We at Peter Hobart are very grateful to have him! |
|
A huge amount of appreciation and thanks goes to Connie and Deborah!
We very much appreciate all the things you do for our school, families, students and staff!

Elders' Wisdom, Children's Song |
|
Elders’ Wisdom, Children's Song is an intergenerational multicultural curriculum. Elders' Wisdom, Children's Song staff have been working with our Talent Development teachers to support the development of this program so it will honor the elders of our St. Louis Park community while fostering the brilliance, empathy, and artistry of our 4th grade scholars.
Elders’ Wisdom Children’s Song (EWCS) incorporates the tools of community organizing, education, and celebration through storytelling in song and spoken word. At the heart, EWCS is an educational process called collective song-writing. It combines the collection of oral history, or oral literature, with the teaching of song-writing and poetry.
This year, through our Talent Development program, all fourth grade classes across the District participated in this amazing program, concluding with a performance showcasing their amazing talents and brilliance.
Each class has adopted an elder from their community to tell his or her story. Each story was recorded, transcribed, analyzed and interpreted by students. Inspired by the life story of the elder, a song or spoken word piece was written and will be performed by the class, for the community.
Our honored Elders:
-
Ila Saxena- Artists: Joe Davis
-
Georgette Johnson- Artist: Cam Muata
-
Peter Redmond- Artists: Amanda White and Carlos Siguenza
The Peter Hobart Elementary Celebration will take place on Thursday, May 12th at 6:30 p.m.
Please feel free to attend and support our students and community!
