Wolf Pack Press - November 9, 2022

Hello, SAP community! We'd love to see you at our SAPSA meeting next week - Tuesday, November 15th, in the school library. SAPSA meetings are a great way to learn about what's going on at the school and include planning many school events. This month we'll focus on the winter Read-A-Thon--a fun, enriching activity for the kids and an important fundraiser for the school. Join us to brainstorm ideas for a theme and principal challenge!


We hope to see a lot of familiar and new faces at the meeting!


Upcoming Events

- Tuesday, November 15th - Teachers Lounge Snack Drop-Off

- SAPSA Meeting, SAP School Library, 6:30pm

Give to the Max Day: November 17th!

Give to the Max Day is a statewide outpouring of support for thousands of nonprofits and schools across Minnesota! GiveMN's Giving Holiday is scheduled for Thursday, November 17, but you don’t have to wait to support St. Anthony Park Elementary. Early Giving is underway at https://www.givemn.org/organization/Sapsa


Donations made before November 17th qualify SAPSA for cherished Golden Tickets. Golden Tickets are random chance drawings. Each gift you make during Give to the Max enters you to win money for the causes you support! Daily $500 Golden Tickets will be awarded each day during Early Giving, and prizes will be awarded every 15 minutes all day long during Give to the Max Day on November 17th!


Our direct giving goal for 2022-2023 is $6,000 and we expect a large portion of that to come from Give to the Max Day. This is also an excellent time to look into whether or not your employer matches donations.

Wolf Pack Press - October 26

It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Fall Festival! The chill and drizzle couldn't put a damper on our festivities - bouncing, eating, crafting, celebrating, and being together! A huge thank you to Bryn Manion, Amy Raddatz, and the many, many volunteers who made this night so amazing. We couldn't have done it without you! Thanks also to students and families for sharing their many talents, from baking to scarecrow building.

First Grade Science Night was Sublime!

Mr. Schrankler explored sublimation and many more scientific principles in a fun evening with first graders and their families. Funding from SAPSA helps pay for materials for events like this. More science nights coming up!


Dexter's Corner_______


Hi, everyone! Dexter here! Just wheeking in to say how much I love the fall... Hey, did you know that guinea pigs and humans (along with other primates) are unique among mammals in our need for dietary vitamin C? Most other animals who need vitamin C can make it in their bodies, but we have to eat it! Did you know that pumpkins are an excellent source of Vitamin C? Yum!
